Nvidia 6100 MCP RAID or GEOM

2008-08-14 Thread Iv. Karabojkov

Hi!

I am asking for recommendation. I'd like to use two SATA disks as RAID1 
- mirror. My MB uses NVidia MCP6100 with hardware RAID.

Is it better to use this RAID or to build a new one using GEOM?
If I accidentally replace the MB will it be easy to reconfigure GEOM 
(for hardware RAID I know it is not if the chipset / SATA BIOS is not 
the same).


And one more: Is network chip Realtek RTL8201 supported on FreeBSD? I 
didn't find it in rl or re drivers, some article says it is supported by 
nve or nfe ?!?


Thanks in advance,
Ivo

changing architecture from i386 to amd64

2008-08-08 Thread Iv. Karabojkov

Hi!

I have machine working with i386 version of FreeBSD 7.0 Release (after
several source updates from 6.0 during the years). Is it possible to
re-build kernel and world with another architecture, in my case AMD64?
I've tried to build kernel in /sys/amd64/conf, but on make depend
everything fails. I see it includes paths with .../I386/.. even link
machine in compile directory points to .../I386.

I hope to be able to switch my architecture without re-installing
FreeBSD with AMD64.
