Re: SCSI RAID on FreeBSD 7.0, where is the array?

Hello again, I apologise for not posting dmesg earlier. You will see I am booting off the RAID5 array for now, while I try to sort this out. Turns out aacd0 is not listed either :( Are there any clues here that I am not seeing? Thanks for all your help so far Dan Copyright (c) 1992-2008

One last post on this topic... Unless I find a miracle. Justin T. Gibbs, maintainer of the ahd adapter says: HostRAID arrays are not supported by FreeBSD - it requires a software RAID stack in the OS. XP has that, but we do not. So while ahd can identify the Adaptec card, and the devices

HDDs: 2xSeagate Cheetah 73.4 GB Ultra320 SCSI That system looks like you have only SCSI disks. These are listed as da0 and da1. Is the installer having trouble accessing the disks? I'm not sure I see the error. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org

Thanks Michael, I have already been through the SCSI Select/HostRAID ROM and configured the disks as RAID0. I am unfortunately at work at this moment, so I can not check ar0, however I seem to recall it is already taken by my ATA array. I had not mentioned this array as it is only for

Thanks for the quick reply! I created the array in the Adaptec BIOS and confirmed it with an XP installer disk, which gave me the option to install to the array as I had named it. I have to apologise for not having the actual dmesg handy but identifies the disks much like the example
