It has nvraid support. Is it possible to use it in freebsd? If so, can it be used as a boot volume? I've attempted a boot with a 5.3 release cd and found that it detects the two drives individually. i'm trying to do raid 0 across 2 SATA disks. My goal is to setup a home file/print server. I'd even consider using software raid if i can't get the nvraid to work. Is it possible to create a bootable software raid setup in freebsd? I do have an old 10 gig drive i could through in for a root partition in a pinch but i'd like to stick to the new sata disks if possible. Thanks. Please CC me as i'm not on the list.
