I have the OS installed on an IDE and i want to add two drives for RAID-0= =20 striping (1 large drive). They are two 200GB maxtor SATA HDD's i plugged them in, and used the bios utility to create the array. when i start Freebsd i can see the MB's onboard controller listed in dmesg= =20 as: atapci0 <VIA 6420 SATA150 controller> port blah blah blah irq 20 at device= =20 15.0 on pci0 but then later it lists the drives seperately: ad4: 194481MB <Maxtor 6L200M0/BANC1G10> [395136/16/63] at ata2-master=20 SATA150 ad6: 194481MB <Maxtor 6L200M0/BANC1G10> [395136/16/63] at ata2-master=20 SATA150 so i'm a little confused. was the raid array created? if so how do i get=20 freebsd to view it as one drive because when i fdisk to create the=20 partitions, i see both drives listed seperately. and if the array was not= =20 created, can someone please point me in the right direction? i'm not finding much with google/freebsd handbook.
