I want to enable gmirror on it (will reinstall everything from scratch), but I want to know if my hardware is setup correctly as a prerequisite for doing this operation. The command dmesg | grep Seagate Yields: ad4: 76319MB at ata2-master UDMA33 ad6: 76319MB at ata3-master UDMA33 Can I assume everything is ok now and can I start the reinstallation? Why I'm in doubt is because of the master/slave thing I was expecting but that seems something of the IDE world as I have bought two Sata hard drives and connected it with sata cables to my motherboard. But just checking to be sure. Brgds and thanks in advanced! Dino
