I'll try repost the question to the freebsd-questions maling list which seems to be the correct list for my question. I hope I'll get an answer that would solve the problem. You are absolutelty correct about the fact that freebsd installer should have a raid tool just like many of the Linux installers. This is a critical issue for me and if I can't get the raid 1 to work with FreeBSD I have to go back to Linux - and an installer that lets me do the software raid :-/ > Regards, > Tom McIntyre Regards, Johan Paul
