My partitions come up as ad4 ad6 and ar0. When I try and= partition the ad4 drive with the normal partitons it gives me the error= that it "cant write partition info to the disk." When I try and partition= the ar0, it will write the partition info successfully. But after= it's done trying to write a file to it will give me the error of "not= enough space left on the disk." Maybe it's just because I've never set a hardware RAID on FreeBSD= before but can anybody give me a hint how to set this up so it= will work :) Thanks, Ben Blier bblier@trynetics.com
