After building the RAID-5 array from 5 x 4GB drives, and restarting the storage manager doesn't see the previous built array! I received the bare board version of this product (not by choice!), so I don't have docs or any software, except for what I can get off of www.dpt.com. What is the recommended way of building an array so it reconizable by FreeBSD? Right now when I boot, FreeBSD just sees 5 x 4GB disks, and allows me to partition them, rather (as I'm presuming anyhow), a 16GB virtual disk. Is the Win95 or DOS storage manager preferred? Is sendero-ppp.i-connect.net/crash/dptmgr-floppy1.raw supposed to be some kind of single disk boot manager? How is it supposed to be used? > Simon > > Tom
