I'm having trouble setting up a new RAID5 array. It's a RocketRAID 1740 with 4x 500G disks, in RAID5 this gives approx. 1.5T of space. It looks like it's operating properly on /dev/da0 . Unfortunately, when I go to FDISK this via /usr/sbin/sysinstall I see the same error over and over and over trying to set my disk to the right cycls / heads / sectors. here are 2 screenshots of the messages : http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y260/theorem21/manual_set_err.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y260/theorem21/repeat_set_err.jpg Even trying to set the disk manually gives the "repeat_set_err.jpg", so I can't possibly have a correct disk geometry. Can anyone help me out ? Any suggestions are welcome, I don't know if ignoring this is the best option. Thanks, theorem
