Using a RAID-card with FreeBSD

[Johan Paul]

Hi all,

This might be kind of a newbie question - I apologize for that.

This is my first time I use a hardware RAID card on a server. I was 
wondering if there are any issues with FreeBSD (4.8R) regarding these 
cards? Will FreeBSD see the RAID1 as a single hard drive that I just 
need to partition and label? And if I need to replace a failed hard 
drive in the RAID array I assume the card will do the rebuilding of the 
array while FreeBSD will function as normal even when I need to reboot 
the machine?

I checked that the card I intended to use (Promise FastTrak TX2) is 
supported by FreeBSD so I don't assume any problems installing FreeBSD 
either.

Thanks for any answers :-)
