The approach is: - Install onto ad4 (or ad6). - Create ar0 using atacontrol. - Reinstall and ar0 will be offered as a destination disk. > I don't mind waiting a while until this code: >=20 > http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-February/046006.h= tml On this point, would I be better off waiting until ata(4) can recognise the ICH6 metadata and restart the process using a BIOS-created RAID1 array, or is the ata driver-based RAID1 array created above just as robust? --=20 Paul. w http://logicsquad.net/ h http://paul.hoadley.name/ --H8ygTp4AXg6deix2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCCJ7k730Z/jysbzIRArfKAJ9lkIU10QI8Mw4vBiqj+4o4RI3xpwCeOO4W w0Pi5RgS5esy808S+AAdotY= =2TeK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --H8ygTp4AXg6deix2--
