Re: Dell 2950 Perc 5/i RAID Controller and FreeBSD 6.1 Question
It would be very very useful if you provided dmesg(8), bsdlabel(8), and fdisk(8) outputs to illustrate the problem. For each RAID group you assemble in the BIOS/CMOS utility, you should see a seaparate mfid[0-9] phyiscal device. Once properly partitioned, they should each contain s1 slice -- for some reason we number disks from 0 but slices from 1 (possibily because the BIOS does) Then each physical slice can be BSD labeled'd with [a-z] ~BAS On Thu, 26 Oct 2006, Krempasky, Mark wrote: Hi, We have a new Dell 2950 with 6 disks, we have verified that the bios and raid controller firmware are up to date.

It seems as though FreeBSD6.1 is not differentiating between the different disk groups thus when you make changes to 1 group it will write the changes to the other.

Any suggestion? There have been several bug fixes and improvements made to the mfi(4) driver since 6.1 was released, including one that is supposed to fix problems with multiple volumes. I would suggest trying the latest 6.2-BETA and see if that works better. (It probably will.) -- Insert your favourite quote here.
