hi ya Raiders okay... i confess ... i'm lost and confused ... we have a dual amd mb + 9 drive bays w/ 200GB drives the drives are connected to a 3ware 7500-8 and the drives is recognized during bios bootup and linux-2.4.19/20 bootup recognized the controller too the 3ware bios created the raid array out of the 8 drives ( supposedly .. waited a long time for it to finish ) 3dm was installed from the cdrom that came w/ the controller http://localhost:1080 - shows the list of drives in the raid - shows the other info abut the 3ware card but now that i wanna use the hw raid, and want to do: fdisk /dev/md0 mke2fsc -j -m 1 /dev/md0 mount /dev/md0 /Raid but there is no such thing as /dev/md0 ... *pout* what is the name of the device ( /dev/xxx ) that 3ware built ?? - went digging/googling around but didnt find my answer yet for freebsd ... i think its /dev/twed -- if its supposed to be /dev/md0 ... guess some step along the way is missing in the steps i did to configure the 3ware 7500-8 card -- ie .. i dont see the 3ware bios section that allows a JBOD vs raid5 either... so its defaulted to raid5 for now -- after all this is done .. guess i'll have to write up another itty-bitty 3ware-raid-howto thanx alvin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
