So, if I were to create the RAID-1 volume with atacontrol, I'm tied to using the Promise controller? Could I move the drives to a Highpoint-based controller or just a plain on-board ATA interface and still have the RAID volume accessible? If I want this kind of flexibility, should I move to Vinum? Thanks again for taking the time to clear all of this up. I really appreciate it. pete To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
