Hi, I want to use the RAID1 on this ASUS mobo. I've configured it as RAID1 in the bios, but BSD53 just sees two discs and not a RAID1 array. (ad4 and ad6). The drives are two identical Maxtor 80Gb SATA discs. Any special things I need to do? NIels Piersma.COM is een handelsnaam van Piersma Beheer B.V.

Other then that, I am not sure if FreeBSD 5.3 is going to support your RAID controller. Mine was never fully detected neither by BSD nor Linux (I have an ASUS K8V SE Deluxe). If you array is not detected, then the odds are relatively high that you will have to switch to FreeBSD 4.10, which has a massive amount of support for several RAID- and SCSI controllers.> Piersma.COM is een handelsnaam van Piersma Beheer B.V.You might want to consider not writing anything in Dutch on a public mailing list. Most folks won't understand it anyway ;). Cheers, Jorn.
Hi Niels! If that's not working (I don't know anything about ICH5) you may use atacontrol to create a RAID1. I've set this up on two Dell PE 750 machines with each having two 80 GB SATA disks and it's working perfect. Greetings, Volker> > Hi, > > I want to use the RAID1 on this ASUS mobo.
