Many thanks for taking the time to reply joepublic. Sorry about the slow reply in getting back to you.
I have to admit that I don't think my box is getting that far. I have not found any way to talk to it and view the kernel log. Are you using RAIDar? I have it installed on both a Windows box and a Linux box and neither will actually pick up the Duo.
I'm beginning to think that I actually have a hardware fault. The only way I have found to talk to my Duo at all, is to unplug the power lead and then press and hold the power button for 15 seconds (until after the 3rd LED flash) - the so called "Tech Support Mode" boot. I can then telnet to it. The only log file I can find in this state is /var/log/frontview/enclosure.log. It states that my Duo has no disks. I know this is not true - I can see both when I connect them to my PC!!
Having said all that I'm happy to be corrected - that's why I'm asking on here :)
