I just noticed this:

# dmesg
...
ar0: 38166MB <Promise Fasttrak SPAN> status: READY
ar0: disk0 READY using ad4 at ata2-master
ar1: 78411MB <Promise Fasttrak RAID0 (stripe 256 KB)> status: READY
ar1: disk0 READY using ad6 at ata3-master
ar1: disk1 READY using ad7 at ata3-slave

# atacontrol status ar0
ar0: ATA SPAN subdisks: ad4 status: READY

# atacontrol status ar1
ar0: ATA SPAN subdisks: ad4 status: READY

[what is going on here, I asked for ar1? It gets worse]:

# atacontrol delete ar1
# atacontrol create RAID0 512 ad6 ad7
ar0 created

[disconcerting - has it destroyed my ar0?]:

# atacontrol status ar0
ar0: ATA SPAN subdisks: ad4 status: READY
# atacontrol status ar1
ar0: ATA SPAN subdisks: ad4 status: READY

[guess not]

It seems that the commands are working ok, but the feedback messages are
wrong as the console output lists ar1 are being created :

ar1: 78411MB <Promise Fasttrak RAID0 (stripe 256 KB)> status: READY
ar1: disk0 READY using ad6 at ata3-master
ar1: disk1 READY using ad7 at ata3-slave

regards

Mark
