hi all- I had also posted this message to freebsd-questions, but thought this might be a more appropriate list, so apologies if some of you are seeing double. I'm doing a clean install to 6.1, and i've decided to set up my system drives as RAID 1 now that I see that 6.1 has support for the ICH5R raid controller. My BIOS recognizes the SATA RAID 1 array correctly, but the FreeBSD installer still sees 'ad4' and 'ad6' as two separate drives. The installer has no problem with my 3ware 9500-based RAID5 array. FWIW, ad4 and ad6 both have old installs of freebsd 5.4 on them, including bootloaders, not sure if that's causing some of the confusion here. should i format the RAID1 array first using the Intel utility? or should i just look to gmirror? thanks in advance, darren david
