I've added also ahd_load=3D"YES" into /boot/loader.conf on the installation cd, also on the boot prompt load ahd load ahd.ko and then boot but again with no success . It were recognized only the 4 disks as separated. How can I make it recognize the raid ? Thanks in advance.

The Adaptec U320 controllers have no built-in support for RAID. SW RAID support is provided by the BIOS and the windows drivers. Unfortunately FreeBSD does not support the Adaptec SW RAID meta-data, hence the disks are reported individually instead of as a single volume. -- Justin From owner-aic7xxx@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Oct 6 13:08:23 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: aic7xxx@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 261DD106568B; Tue, 6 Oct 2009 13:08:23 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from enidv11@gmail.com) Received: from mail-bw0-f227.google.com (mail-bw0-f227.google.com [209.85.218.227]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 719CD8FC1A; Tue, 6 Oct 2009 13:08:22 +0000 (UTC) Received: by bwz27 with SMTP id 27so2996655bwz.43 for ; Tue, 06 Oct 2009 06:08:21 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:mime-version:received:in-reply-to:references :date:message-id:subject:from:to:cc:content-type; bh=kIPkxL1QdA+tD9vyeSN3OzifRPd+ufgElw7FnUfe/uU=; b=OuPN8fXQq4kpafmKSlXMtCtiheC/MSHA9eiZqDhYgw1zTpEmI1KM1No+1TZVvNA2u5 yWWXd4sopzz9eLcmgQEZmYzXVuBpHz++I59Hh7SU8UWNZFvAJSomsu9R1lUPRRP0RPFP qo+VLotNw43vd8vYWpZSYA7ethAs2YNKGrY8U= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=mime-version:in-reply-to:references:date:message-id:subject:from:to :cc:content-type; b=KvLH7erDdyv/uG0IFBwFchRiPgZ8NuXX2BkDOMDTYdcgpXihfAyEjJWPYfBcDFgedR Q3IR8bX6ggeQBTPB2RFTKB+7rjVkoWd7EoOtPxMfDN4I0GVCAm1dg5FdeHTucjNJp4vB t7Ezd/hiwn76+hc+NP2cfCjmRSluae0ibIgsI= MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: by 10.204.154.131 with SMTP id o3mr5095963bkw.66.1254834501192; Tue, 06 Oct 2009 06:08:21 -0700 (PDT) In-Reply-To: <4ACB39EF.1010003@FreeBSD.org> References: <77b5ce830910060238qf61d697i3f846b8ce5954ae3@mail.gmail.com> <4ACB39EF.1010003@FreeBSD.org> Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 15:08:21 +0200 Message-ID: <77b5ce830910060608t51773088t7354c1ee5ac1d4e5@mail.gmail.com> From: enid vx To: "Justin T.

Is this a good idea, can you give me an advice how to add redundancy to my data. Also is there a plan in the future to support this kind of controller? Enid On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 2:37 PM, Justin T.
