Hello all,

Although this seems faq, Ive googled around looking for any solutions to 
having a working raid1 solution on a dell SC420 with CERC SATA2 and freebsd 
5.4, but I havent found any solutions.

Since many people seem to be asking this question, and the hardware is 
listed as supported, Im curious to know if anyone has actually managed to 
get this to work.
Technically the freebsd hardware compatibility lists the 'Cerc Sata2' while 
Dell states 'Cerc Sata 2s'. dont know if the 's' makes all the difference 
here !

Am inclined on trying 6.0-rc1 just to check if there is any difference, but 
it just too new to run for production.

thanks in advance for any pointers or illumination on what im doing wrong.


cheers


Mark
