Should I run vinum or use the features from the new ata driver ? I think the non-vinum stuff you are referring to is for management of hardware RAID. from dmesg: ar0: 39190MB [4996/255/63] status: READY subdisks: 0 READY ad4: 19595MB [39813/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA133 1 READY ad6: 19595MB [39813/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA133 -- %atacontrol status ar0 ar0: ATA RAID0 subdisks: ad4 ad6 status: READY I just kinda guessed at this, so I'm hoping someone will correct me if necessary!
