I setup a RAID 1 array in the BIOS of the Promise PDC20319 controller and I boot on the RAID array: "Hard Disk Drives:[FT TX Ary 1]". FreeBSD 5.3 supports perfectly this controller in view of the atacontrol commands and all seem ok: # atacontrol list ATA channel 0: Master: acd0 ATA/ATAPI revision 4 Slave: no device present ATA channel 1: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 2: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 3: Master: ad6 Slave: no device present ATA channel 4: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 5: Master: ad10 Slave: no device present # atacontrol status ar0 ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: ad6 ad10 status: READY # I have two questions: 1)Can someone explain to me why the disks numbering ad6 et ad10? 2)How to do to check the RAID 1 is operational without all to break? Here the ships of my board: Chipset Intel® E7210 (CanterWood-ES) Memory Controller Hub -Intel® 6300ESB IO Controller Hub (Hance Rapid) -Support mémoire PC3200 DDR (Unbuffered DIMM, non-ECC et ECC) -Support des bus 64bit/66MHz PCI-X et 32bit/33MHz Contrôleur Serial ATA Contrôleur Promise PDC20319 4 Port 32bit/66MHz PCI Serial ATA, supportant les modes RAID 0, 1, 0+1 Contrôleur Intel 6300ESB IO Hub, provide 2 x Serial ATA supportant les modes RAID 0, 1 IDE Primaire & Secondaire channel bus master IDE ports support ATA100, Multi-Word DMA Mode 2, PIO Mode 3/4.
