To boot from the Fasttrack card, I needed at least one RAID device defined in its BIOS. The Promise tech said a good NOOP was to just have a one disk striped array. > I would guess that under vinum, span/jbod would be best, but just guessing. In actuality, I wanted the drives mirrored for data integrity. Now I have a new 80GiB hard drive on my PC. I made a 30GiB partition for my digital pictures and will use rsync to replicate them to the file server's mirrored array at night. Now, I've just got one more question about this stuff though... Gonna take it to another post though... Thanks, pete To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
