I've worked with ProLiant servers and with FreeBSD RAID, but not on the same box. Basically, as I understand it, you should use the Compaq SmartStart Array Configuration Utility to create the RAID1 (mirror) array. The array controller will then present the RAID set as one logical drive to the OS. The total logical size will be the size of one (1) of the drives. Using a Promise RAID controller, dmesg listed the device ar0 for the logical RAID set and the devices ad4 and ad6 for the low-level RAID components. The ar0 partition is what is carved up and installed to. Hope this helps... Chris Michael E.
