I keep running into roadblocks... I'm running fbsd 6.1 release, i386 My HighPoint RocketRAID 1520 (serial ata 2 channel pci raid card) won't provide me with an option to rebuild the raid 1 array after I've inserted the replacement drive (the old one has been pulled for a month or so). Soo... -atacontrol... I tried using atacontrol to addspare in preparation for a rebuild. I get an error when using 'atacontrol addspare ar0 ad6' saying something like "device isn't configured". Yes, I'm sure of the ar0 and ad6 array/device names. Does atacontrol not support this raid card or is there something I can do to get this to work? -highpoint's own management software.. After trying atacontrol I figured I'd give highpoint's driver's a try. They say they support freebsd 6.1 so this shouldn't be an issue right? Well I install their driver, which appears to work fine (the first disk is now da0s1), but then their raid management software won't install. It keeps looking for old version of libraries (which I was apparently able to get around by linking to the current libraries) and now it's giving me the following error: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so.5: Undefined symbol "__stdoutp" Obviously this is a problem with highpoint's own freebsd support, but is there any way to get around this with FreeBSD 6.x? Has anyone here had any luck with rebuilding an array using an hpt372 card in freebsd? ... So, the basic question: does atacontrol have hardware raid support for this card? I'm trying to rebuild my array without resorting to backin up and reinstalling just to get my raid 1 operational again... and secondly, is there a way to get around the above error with highpoint's raid software? All I'm trying to do is rebuild my array! :( TIA -- Joel [rootrider]
