Tricky question ;-) It depends on the architecture you are using (check the output of sysctl kern.rawpartition, if it is 2 think 'c', if 3 think 'd'). You have two options: partition the outer raid, e.g. by creating a partition 'a' of type raid on them - in that case: use /dev/raid0a (for example). Or use the whole device raw (without any partitions): in that case use /dev/raid0d (or raid0c, depending on above output). The second method is easier, and if you do not want other things on the outer raids, just use it. Martin
