I installed 2x500GB drives, and discovered that the card will allow me to put multiple arrays on the disk. For chuckles, I put a 100GB mirror (RAID 1), and a 700-and-chage (500x2 - the 200GB mirror) stripe (RAID 0) array. However, when I boot the installer (6.0), its only seeing ar0 (the RAID 1 array). Is there any way to get an ar1 to see the other disk array? I see a kern.disks sysctl knob, but I'm assuming its read-only, and atacontrol create smells about right, but again seems to assume 1 raid setup per physical device. -B
