X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 00:33:32 -0000 Thanks Michael, I have already been through the SCSI Select/HostRAID ROM and configured the disks as RAID0. I am unfortunately at work at this moment, so I can not check ar0, however I seem to recall it is already taken by my ATA array. I had not mentioned this array as it is only for storage and the problem exists regardless of whether or not it is connected.
