I'm >working on that at the moment. Mike can you expand on this? What do you mean by "until it's finished building itself out"? If I do the Alt+3 and do the partitions and wait until all is initialized and then try the FreeBSD install would I be ok? For the machine I am setting up Sunday I am doing Raid 0 (2 drives) and Raid 1 (another 2 drives) so this "issue" won't affect me yet, but I have a machine on order where I was planning on doing Raid 10. >willing to provide reasonable problem reports so that things can be fixed >quickly, I'd say you'll be fine. Mike anything you would like me to try? Any recommended benchmarks? I plan to do a bonnie on the machine before and after RAID, but I am wondering if there is any other good test(s). francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
