Subject:   onboard sata raid & freebsd 5.4 need help
Message-ID:  <2d3ab02605090913122ef62b3f@mail.gmail.com>

I have the OS installed on an IDE and i want to add two drives for RAID-0=
=20
striping (1 large drive).

They are two 200GB maxtor SATA HDD's

i plugged them in, and used the bios utility to create the array.

when i start Freebsd i can see the MB's onboard controller listed in dmesg=
=20
as:

atapci0 <VIA 6420 SATA150 controller> port blah blah blah irq 20 at device=
=20
15.0 on pci0

but then later it lists the drives seperately:

ad4: 194481MB <Maxtor 6L200M0/BANC1G10> [395136/16/63] at ata2-master=20
SATA150
ad6: 194481MB <Maxtor 6L200M0/BANC1G10> [395136/16/63] at ata2-master=20
SATA150

so i'm a little confused. was the raid array created? if so how do i get=20
freebsd to view it as one drive because when i fdisk to create the=20
partitions, i see both drives listed seperately. and if the array was not=
=20
created, can someone please point me in the right direction?

i'm not finding much with google/freebsd handbook.
