Hi all! I am pretty new to FreeBSD but thought it might be a nice idea to migrate from a Linux server to a FreeBSD one. My question is regarding software RAID-1 for this FreeBSD box. I have two IDE equally sized hard drives and I installed FreeBSD 4.8 on the other one. Now the question is: can I make a RAID-1 array of these two disks while FreeBSD is installed on the other one (using vinum or other...)? Or how do I get RAID-1 to work on these two disks? I've read some of the vinum documentation but it is unclear to me if it is possible to set up a RAID-1 on a running disk system - and if my assumptions are correct, that it is impossible, it is unclear to me how to set up this RAID-1? Regards, Johan Paul
