I have the OS installed on an IDE and i want to add two drives for RAID-0
striping (1 large drive).
They are two 200GB maxtor SATA HDD's
i plugged them in, and used the bios utility to create the array.
when i start Freebsd i can see the MB's onboard controller listed in dmesg
as:
atapci0 <VIA 6420 SATA150 controller> port blah blah blah irq 20 at device
15.0 on pci0
but then later it lists the drives seperately:
ad4: 194481MB <Maxtor 6L200M0/BANC1G10> [395136/16/63] at ata2-master
SATA150
ad6: 194481MB <Maxtor 6L200M0/BANC1G10> [395136/16/63] at ata2-master
SATA150
so i'm a little confused. was the raid array created? if so how do i get
freebsd to view it as one drive because when i fdisk to create the
partitions, i see both drives listed seperately. and if the array was not
created, can someone please point me in the right direction?
i'm not finding much with google/freebsd handbook.
