Hi:

I am new on RAID, I googled a bit on how to install freebsd with RAID-1. 
But I found mostly references to software raid, and I have a CERC SATA 
RAID controler (6 channel). Is this because hardware RAID-1 "Just Works 
(TM)"? or how do I make sure that my raid is actually used and not just 
one of the disks?

Sorry if this is a silly question.

Thanks, Erik
