I'd really like to hear on this: I just wiped out all disks data, deleted all two partitions and recreated them. created another stripe using the same arguments as the other times but it keeps vanishing when I reboot. fresh 8-BETA2 and old pc in i386. what to do now ? give up ? I changed the partitions size, to not match the same hd sectors and nothing. and now I didn't use the ad16s2, but ad16s2d (I created some labels) and nothing again ... is there a limit of using gstripe ? hardware for that matter ? atapci1@pci0:0:13:0: class=0x010400 card=0x61141095 chip=0x31141095 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Silicon Image Inc (Was: CMD Technology Inc)' device = 'SATALink/SATARaid Controller (Sil 3114)' class = mass storage subclass = RAID any info needed please ask. two seagate 750GB sata disks 120GB from both on gmirror and what lefts on gstripe. thanks, matheus -- We will call you cygnus, The God of balance you shall be A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
