I guess I only found old messages, and no new stating there was support now, so I assumed it was not available yet. I probably just looked in the wrong place. Array rebuild cannot be done in FreeBSD yet? Or am I wrong about this again? It would be nice to have this info added to ata(4) I think. Didn't find anything about RAID there. If a disk fails, is a message logged? Is there any way to view the status of the array? I know I should RTFM, but I can't find the FM, and I'm not too good at reading source code. Thanks for the info, and sorry for bothering you ;) Alson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
