I am able to see the drives with dmesg, but so far only able to mount and newfs the first drive. Any subsequent attempts results in this error (via sysinstall): Error mounting /dev/da4s1e on /local2 : Invalid argument This happens regardless of having gone in (through sysinstall) and deleted the existing info and rewriting it out. Is this indicative of a hardware problem, or ... ? Thanks, _F To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
