Got the latest version? I've upgraded to the latest BIOS release for my motherboard, which includes version 2.32 of the HPT BIOS. It did not fix the problem. Before that, I ran an earlier BIOS that included version 2.31 of the HPT BIOS. Can someone tell me how much RAID1 functionality is done by FreeBSD as opposed to the HPT372? I'm wondering if the problem is FreeBSD or the HPT controller itself... Thanks, Janet To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
