At the moment the controller has 2 disks attached to it (also 2x Seagate Cheetah 36GB) in RAID 0. According to the documentation of the controller this should be possible, but my question is what happens with the size of the slice and partitions of FreeBSD? Do they grow or do I have a lot of empty space after the migration? Hope someone knows the answer. Thanks, Marco -- Croll's Query: If tin whistles are made of tin, what are foghorns made of?
