Unfortunately you don't tell us what controller (dmesg ?) it is nor the DL160's generation (G6, G7...). Some of those lower-end rackserver are able to run in plain AHCI (if SATA) or SAS HBA-mode (i.e. LSI's in IT-mode). If that is possible you may just go with that and install pfSense on a geom mirror. The installer should (if I remember right) have such an option. -- Mathieu --- Diese E-Mail ist frei von Viren und Malware, denn der avast!
