It has an Adaptec 39320 SCSI Card which will do RAID 1 Hosting. I have Control-A and enterd the SCSI BIOS and created a RAID Pair from the two 73 GB SCSI Discs. When I came to install FreeBSD I only used the first disc it had detected [da0] There was a lot of disc activity and the install went ok (if not a bit slower than usual) but if I try and mount /dev/da1 (the second disc) I get "no such file or directory" - I am using ; mount -t ufs /dev/sd1 /mnt How do I check that the data is mirrored and should I be able to access this disc if all is correct ? Also, should I enable write cache on the host card ? Thanks !
