Hi,
I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.8 onto an Intel ISP2150 that I have ripped the SCSI cabling and boards from in place of a PCI RAID system. All seems to have gone well and I can boot and configure the RAID card locally (4x80GB). However, FreeBSD insists in seeing the RAID (supposedly striped and mirrored) as 4 separate disks... ad4 -> 7.


Is this correct? Do I need to change something here in FreeBSD as I can't see anything obvious in the docs or from searching the web on this?

It could be correct if you haven't set up your RAID card correctly. Is it a hardware or software controlled RAID card. If it's hardware controlled, you have to set up your RAID configuration in the card so FreeBSD recognizes it as 1 disk. If it's software controlled, cou can use something like ccd or vinum.
See this articles for more info on vinum:

Or the RAID section from the trusty handbook:

Good Luck,
Jason
