I'm inexperienced with RAID set-ups and with installing FreeBSD. Any advice? My RAID has 2 containers set up - 1 is 29.89 GB (Disk01) and the other is 4 GB (Disk00) - The system as 3 18GB SCSI drives. When the FreeBSD install starts it asks which disks I want to partition: "aacd00" or "aacd01", or both. Should I partition both, or just one, or what? Where should I be installing the OS? This machine is going to be a web server with a PostgreSQL database on it. Any advice/howto's would be greatly appreciated.
