Thank you for answering, So if I have no possibility to install FreeBSD on aic-7901, but I want to use RAID can I user mirroring with gmirror. Is this a good idea, can you give me an advice how to add redundancy to my data. Also is there a plan in the future to support this kind of controller? Enid On Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 2:37 PM, Justin T.
