I've just reinstalled a box with 6.1-RELEASE on a Promise PDC20267 RAID 0+1 ARRAY. On boot the BIOS says the array is "functional" but FreeBSD claims its running in DEGRADED mode. [dmesg] ad4: 190782MB <WDC WD2000JB-00GVA0 08.02D08> at ata2-master UDMA100 ad5: 114473MB <WDC WD1200JB-00DUA3 75.13B75> at ata2-slave UDMA100 ad6: 114473MB <WDC WD1200JB-00GVA0 08.02D08> at ata3-master UDMA100 ad7: 114473MB <WDC WD1200JB-00GVA0 08.02D08> at ata3-slave UDMA100 ar0: WARNING - mirror protection lost. RAID0+1 array in DEGRADED mode ar0: 228946MB <Promise Fasttrak RAID0+1 (stripe 64 KB)> status: DEGRADED ar0: disk0 DOWN no device found for this subdisk ar0: disk1 READY (master) using ad5 at ata2-slave ar0: disk2 READY (mirror) using ad6 at ata3-master ar0: disk3 READY (mirror) using ad7 at ata3-slave [/dmesg] atacontrol status ar0 ar0: ATA RAID0+1 stripesize=128 subdisks: DOWN ad5 ad6 ad7 status: DEGRADED I believe the problem is due to the size of ad4 which is a 200Gb disk as I had no spare 120's to replace the failed disk for this install. I think this is causing BSD to error as the RAID bios only listed it as a ~120GB i.e. only slightly bigger than other 120's. Has anyone see this before? Is it a bug with the ide driver?
