well, the complete story is: 1. i had 3.4 on the compaq which had the old ida driver (stealing the wd name). 2. i followed the UPDATING procedure to move to 4.1 - with no problem (just had to change the fstab to use the new idad device name). 3. later on i added couple of disks and used the ACU to create another logical drive (idad1) 4. i tried to use /stand/sysinstall to fdisk/disklabel it, but it did not recognize any of the idad devices, so i went ahead and fixed sysinstall. maybe the sysinstall under /stand is different from the one on the installation media??! have you used sysinstall on your system? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Edmonds" <aedmonds@digitalconvergence.com> To: "Barak Enat" <barak_enat@yahoo.com> Cc: <freebsd-stable@freebsd.org> Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2000 10:45 PM Subject: Re: sysinstall and compaq smart raid disks (idad) > I've got Compaq DL360s with the Integrated Smart > RAID adapters and support was added to 4.0-STABLE > on June 2nd.
