hal currently lacks RAID support, so each disk will be displayed. You
can choose to ignore these entries by
modifying /usr/local/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/10-ignore-disks.fd=
i. Something like this should work:
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version=3D"0.2">
<device>
<match key=3D"block.device" string=3D"/dev/ad0">
<merge key=3D"info.ignore" type=3D"bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
The block device string should be whatever lshal reports it to be.
