Hi there, I am trying to install FreeBSD on a (pseudo-) hardware ATA RAID volume which consists of two striped ATA disks connected to a Highpoint HPT370 controller. "Pseudo-" because FreeBSD detects the individual disks (ad4/ad6) as well as the striped volume (ar0). Besides the fact that ar0 isn't documented anywhere (except in /dev/MAKEDEV) and "man 4 ar" gives something completely irrelevant, which one is better to use: Highpoint built-in RAID (ar0), or ad4/ad6 striped with Vinum? I reckon if the RAID functions are implemented in HPT BIOS (in software), I'll be better off with Vinum. What do you guys think? Thanks John _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
