How to create and image if it is using RAID5 with 4x146 SAS drives? isthis possible with RAID5 or can I just image disk by disk (JBOD) willit not affect the contents because it has raid5 technology? and how todo it? Is there a third party software like "Ghost" in Freebsd? if so how to use it? During my search I saw frisbee but I don't know how to use it. There are only limited information on how to use it and I can't understand it cause I'm new at using freebsd. btw I have Freebsd 7 amd64 system. Dual Core Intel XEON processor 5000 1333MHZ Intel 5000 chipset family 1 GB min fully buffered memory 4 x 146GB SAS drives Lan Intel 82563EB dual port controller LSI 1068 SAS Contoller I need to have the same configurations on the other servers withoutgoing through the installation stuffs. I believe this is possible but Ido not know how. Advance and many thanks. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
