 Hi.
 
 I want to use RAID on a IBM xSeries 345 with two harddisks.
 So the problem is, i can not setup a RAID System via Installation of
 FreeBSD (it will be 4.9 or maybe 5.2) and i do not have a System
 harddisk so that i can use the other ones as a RAID System.
 Is there a way to setup RAID (CCD otr Vinum) on a System with 2
 harddisks (mirroring or stripping)?
 
 
 Yes.  It's described in the man pages.
 
 Oh boy, i need a real large cup of coffee, or some glasses.

In addition to the man pages I found these resources of particular use:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/vinum-root.html
and
http://www.vinumvm.org/cfbsd/vinum.pdf

From my own experience it can be done without much trouble.
I burnt myself a few times in the process but that was mostly user fault.

Regards,

Tony

I would appreciate any suggestions.
