I have a Silicon Image 3512 RAID controller configured as a RAID 1 with two 250GB maxtor drives. I'm using the amd64 distribution on a Pentium D machine (with a asus P5B motherboard). The last issued command appares to be: newfs -O2 /dev/ar0s1a Am I doing something wrong? Has anybody observed such a behavior? thanks Francesco
