Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Good Day, Please excuse my ignorance (and cross posting). I have just installed a DPT SmartRaid IV card, and am very happy that FreeBSD finds and uses it with no problems. To simulate drive failure, I have unplugged one of the drives (with the system powered down) and then powered the system up. The raid controllor knows something is amis, and beeps continually during boot. However, I was disapointed not to see any form of error/warning message in the logs. Is there a way to get some feedback? Unfortuantly, the box is being installed remotely, and thus, I cannot hear its wails for help in the event of drive failure... Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. As I am not subscribed to this list at present, could you please mail me and CC the list.
