When the system is booted with kern.geom.raid.enable=0, graid status does not report the old BIOS data. A catch-22 ensues that does not allow the deletion of the old BIOS meta data which would allow the construction of a FreeBSD software RAID. >How-To-Repeat: 1. create a RAID on 2 drives using the BIOS 2. remove that RAID and configure the drives in IDE mode with the BIOS 3. install FreeBSD 9.0 and construct a gpart gmirror software RAID 4. freebsd_update to FreeBSD 9.1 >Fix: Import the loader BIOS raid detection software into graid >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:home | help
