freebsd-8 support for dell R710 SATA raid-0

[Varan Okul]

Hi,

 

I suggest you try these scenario first.

 

1st - At RAID controller BIOS.

     Create 1 small logical drive for FreeBSD installation.

     The rest space from RAID0, just create 2TB for each logical drive.

 

2nd - Boot with FreeBSD installation CD/DVD

     Lets see FreeBSD bootable CD/DVD can see the small logical drive created, or not?


If this not work, may be the RAID controller is too new for this FreeBSD version.

The CD/DVD doesn't have driver for it inside.
You may need to change to older RAID controller, or move to newer FreeBSD version.

 

Best Regards

Varan.
