I have not touched, configured, or even booted machine Y. What will happen if, while both machines are off, I take all disks from machine X and put them into machine Y, and then turn machine Y on ? The configuration on machine X is four disks, that are combined into two mirrored volumes. As you can guess, I basically just want to move the disks and preserve my system completely - I am very worried about losing data, or having the new raid controller re-initialize things or otherwise trash things. Any advice appreciated. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
