I have never setup a mirror Raid before, especially never in FreeBSD 5.1 , I have always been using 4.8 =/ Now, I am at the Select Drives (Second screen) which menas that 5.1 does see my promise SATA raid controller. Now... I have 3 selections to use for drives, ad4, ad6, ar0 First, I have 2 drives, and one is just a mirror of the other. my presumption is to singularly use ar0, but... I really do not know. And as this will someday hopefully be my production server... I wanna set it up right. Any clues anyone?
