Hi there. I am hoping someone can help me with my question here. I have used freeBSD for many years, and I am pushing into new territory. I have constructed a 16 1tb drive array from Promise Technologies, and connected it via Fibre to a Dell server running FreeBSD 6.3. I can see the promise array, it shows us as DA0. The problem is what is listed in the Dmesg stream shows the right amount of storage space on the array, but when I use sysinstall, I cannot mount that space as the full volume. I don't know if I am missing information on what to put for geometry, but anything I put does not get accepted as usable. I know that there is a technique for using targets, etc, but I cannot find information on doing what I am doing. Well, I don't recognize it as being what I need. Is there someone or somewhere out there that would have information that would help me get to the destination I seek? Thanks! -Trevor Hearn
