I need help with this. I'm trying to create a software RAID1. I followed the instructions in man page http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=atacontrol&sektion=8&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.1-RELEASE atacontrol(8) atacontrol(8) wrote: > > [snip] > A quick and dirty way to create such a mirrored array on a new system is > to boot off the FreeBSD install CD, do a minimal scratch install, abort > out of the post install questions, and at the command line issue the com- > mand: > > atacontrol create RAID1 ad4 ad6 > > then immediately issue a reboot and boot from the installation CD again, > and during the installation, you will now see "ar0" listed as a disk to > install on, and install on that instead of ad4, ad6, etc. > [snip] > I did the above exactly as stated, except when I reboot ar0 just disappears. What went wrong? Or, please point out what I missed. :confused: I've tried setting the SATA type in BIOS to either "Native IDE" or "AHCI" modes. If I set it to RAID mode, the installation says "no disks found". When I boot up, either from the CD or from ad4, I see both disks, ad4 & ad6. When I do the "atacontrol create RAID1 ad4 ad6" command and then "atacontrol status ar0", it reports that ar0 is READY, but when I reboot, it's gone. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Help-with%3A--atacontrol-create-RAID1-ad4-ad6-tp21511186p21511186.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
