Is it a hardware or software controlled RAID card. If it's hardware controlled, you have to set up your RAID configuration in the card so FreeBSD recognizes it as 1 disk. If it's software controlled, cou can use something like ccd or vinum. See this articles for more info on vinum: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/vinum/index.html Or the RAID section from the trusty handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/raid.html Good Luck, Jason
