Hi, I'm working on a machine right now with the same SCSI controller. I think what your problem is, from your description, is that there were RAID arrays defined prior to adding the new drives, and when you added a new drive, it wasn't tossed into an array, thus FreeBSD sees it as another device on the SCSI chain. Check what the Drive Array Configuration Software tells you. These controllers are great little pieces, and I love my ProLiant 1500... but they can be a pain to understand at times. :) --- Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of > freebsd@intelos.net > Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2001 7:53 AM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: compaq prolient DL380 SCSI drive question > > > Hey Everyone, > I'm installing freebsd on a machine that has a 'compaq smart array > controller'.
