Not at all, you have to use the BIOS to either switch off the RAID or setup a new fresh disks or whatever you want to do. If a RAID array is broken somehow, the driver wont attach it (a safety mesure so you wont blow up the remaining disks).. > Is it possible to query the driver to check, if the drives are OK from the > userland ? No. However I have an atacontrol thingie on the bench but its not ready yet, with that you will be able to control the RAIDs and other ATA related stuff... -S�ren To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
