Hello all, I have installed FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE on my newly purchased Intel SR1435VP2 platform that has an Intel SE7320VP2 Motherboard. During the install (and after upgrading to 5.4-STABLE) FreeBSD would not recognize my RAID controller (ESB6300). I saw recently that support for this RAID controller was added to 6-CURRENT, so I upgraded. After upgrading the controller is picked up as ar0 and FreeBSD sees my 2 RAID 1 drives. My problem now is that I am still mounting the drives as /dev/ad4s1a etc. I changed my /etc/fstab with the hopes that it would just boot and it would work as planned, but, it did not. :P Here is what I did: Changed all occurrences of /dev/ad4s1x (where x is a, d, e, f) with /dev/ar0s1x Rebooted. Here is what I did not do yet: Check consistency of the RAID array before booting FreeBSD again. I must maybe do this before I try again. :) Now, my question: What is the correct way to start using the controller now instead of the direct disk? Thank you in advance. ---Jaco
