That should work fine. I would also still mount the old /usr on a different mount point so if something doesn't get copied right you will still have it available. -Derek At 08:35 AM 5/17/2006, Perttu Laine wrote: I running freebsd 5.4 and I have /usr on one single drive now. I have

How would you mount your old drive once booted into your new RAIDed system? Would mount /dev/ad0s1a /mnt work even when you are booted off of your gm0 RAIDed drive? On May 17, 2006, at 11:55 AM, Perttu Laine wrote: On 5/17/06, Derek Ragona [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That should work

Check the hardware list. In most of the supported ones, they work fine with one RAID volume. More than one RAID volume can be problematic. -Derek At 10:55 AM 5/17/2006, Perttu Laine wrote: On 5/17/06, Derek Ragona [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That should work fine. I would also

Ok. So XFX Revo64 seems to be same with NetCell NC3000 and I can't find any info about that. Some stores are saying that Adaptec 1420SA works with FreeBSD, but hardwarelist doesn't have it. So. Anyone here happen to have information about either card in freebsd? -- kpn @ IRCnet
