I have 2 maxattach nas 4000 servers, but they only have 2 disks of 20GB = each installed, which is too small to be usable nowadays... Therefore I would like to equip them with 4x 80GB and 128 MB RAM, but my = attempts to do so failed so far ( I tried to move the original freebsd = os to the 80GB on pc running freebsd ). I was wondering if I need to = change something on the mainboard in order to use 4 drives ( I noticed = that you mentioned a custom bios, so I was wondering if that includes = fixed harddrive settings or auto recognise? ) or that I have to look for = it in the freebsd config? If it's a software problem, I will probably also try to get linux = running on it ( than I can make one large array instead of having to = split the array in half like with the original os ). Any help/info is welcome and appreciated. Best Regards, Derek Szapinszki
