After looking at the dmesg output, I am curious whether you are using the promise sataII 150 TX4 controller for the raid disks? I see you are using 6.0-RELEASE whereas I'm using 5.4-STABLE with that particular controller. My dmesg output for the disk array looks like the following: ad4: 238475MB [484521/16/63] at ata2-master SATA150 ad6: 238475MB [484521/16/63] at ata3-master SATA150 ad8: 238475MB [484521/16/63] at ata4-master SATA150 ad10: 238475MB [484521/16/63] at ata5-master SATA150 ar0: 953900MB [65535/255/63] status: READY subdisks: disk0 READY on ad4 at ata2-master disk1 READY on ad6 at ata3-master disk2 READY on ad8 at ata4-master disk3 READY on ad10 at ata5-master The device I mount as my raid filesystem is ar0s1 and I believe it corresponds to ``device ataraid'' in the kernel. I read the raid mirroring page in the handbook, although, I'm thinking your controller should represent each disk as ``ar0'' and handle the mirroring itself (possibly consisting of two sets of two disks). I really don't know though. It looks like the RAID1 mirroring tutorial is for systems that don't actually have a raid controller. Hence, the RAID0 tutorial is the one that I would be using if I did not use the promise controller. Because I _DO_ use the controller, I am simply able to manipulate the ar0 disk array as a single disk. I imagine your setup will differ, but I hope this helps. -Michael
