It would be very very useful if you provided dmesg(8), bsdlabel(8), and fdisk(8) outputs to illustrate the problem. For each RAID group you assemble in the BIOS/CMOS utility, you should see a seaparate mfid[0-9] phyiscal device. Once properly partitioned, they should each contain "s1" slice -- for some reason we number disks from 0 but slices from 1 (possibily because the BIOS does) Then each physical slice can be BSD labeled'd with [a-z] ~BAS On Thu, 26 Oct 2006, Krempasky, Mark wrote: > Hi, > > We have a new Dell 2950 with 6 disks, we have verified that the bios and > raid controller firmware are up to date. > > Our issue is: after creating 3, RAID 1 virtual disk groups and > initializing them we successfully install FreeBSD 6.1 on the first raid > group. > We then create a file system on the second raid group which seems to > wipe out the FreeBSD install on the first disk group. > > It seems as though FreeBSD6.1 is not differentiating between the > different disk groups thus when you make changes to 1 group it will > write the changes to the other. > > Anyone have any ideas on how to get FreeBSD6.1 to differentiate between > the different virtual disk groups on a Dell 2950? > > Thanks > Mark. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > l8* -lava (Brian A.
