X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 07 May 2012 13:24:34 -0000 I installed 9.0 on a new desktop that used Intel's on-board RAID yesterday and it worked great. One nit though is I had to remember to kldload geom_raid manually from the shell before starting the install, and to load it from the loader on the first boot after install. The old ataraid(4) was present in GENERIC, so I think it would be fine for GEOM_RAID to be present in GENERIC now (certainly on x86). What do you think? -- John Baldwin
