If i have 3 SCSI drives un-RAIDED and one IDE drive how will sysinstall give me an option of which drive to install on. Will there just be 4 unused partitions in the Fdisk partition editor? If so could i install FreeBSD on one of the drives and then RAID them all together with Vinum and expect all the hardrives to share the files (exept the IDE which will be used for something esle) or would i have to reconfigure the mount points? If i were to reinstall FreeBSD what steps would i have to take to make sure the RAID is still there? And also how does RAIDING through Vinum work? And also, are Travan type tape drives compadible with FreeBSD? Thanks in advance.
