I've successfully created both mirrored and striped packs on this card, it's the filesystems that I can't get created. Thank's for your help, though.

Things to look for? Thanks! Rob, On my Mylex Acceleraid 250, I just used the RAID EzAssist program that resides on the card itself. I didn't need to use any special utilities from DOS. I just hit alt-r when prompted to do so during a boot. Do you not have this option with your particular card? Is your card's firmware up to date? Creating a RAID-1 set in EzAssist is quite simple. ---Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
