Is there a way within FreeBSD to concatenate > the drives into a software raid0 array? Hello, I prefer ZFS, it is reliable, fast, and full of features, in a FreeBSD 8.2 AMD64 it rocks... I use to partition the disk using a small ufs partition (4Gb) follow 4Gb swap, and the rest of the disk for ZFS, Once created the zfs , I can mount the zfs as rootfs, and than define whatever I need after, as mirror, partitions, snapshots... and so on the system must have 4G (or more) of memory, and is is really fast.. I am very satisfied with the system (I have installed about 60 already, with this configuration)... Sergio
