The only disks in the system are two identical SATA drives which I want to make into a RAID1 array. How can I bootstrap into this setup using the atacontrol approach? I've installed onto ad4, but just doing 'atacontrol create RAID1 ad4 ad6' isn't going to replicate this disk over to ad6 and make the resulting array bootable, is it? Do I need a temporary third disk to boot from, set up the array and then install onto that? I don't mind waiting a while until this code: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-February/046006.html makes it into STABLE. But even then, to proceed without a temporary boot disk would require installing from something like a STABLE snapshot ISO, wouldn't it? (Does anyone still make those?) --=20 Paul. w http://logicsquad.net/ h http://paul.hoadley.name/ --6c2NcOVqGQ03X4Wi Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCCD25730Z/jysbzIRArvIAJ9T+0NarjKYczZ8ynlYYW/d3s2prACfXV1D 976U/NPqprzgoNBjMDO4yb0= =uG08 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --6c2NcOVqGQ03X4Wi--
