Default Unable to RAID
Greetings,

This is an issue I've tried to tackle many times and I'm about ready to give up. I have an HP Proliant ML110 G5 series server I want to turn into a mail server and I would like to run BSD. I have 4 disk drives on it (ada[0123]), ada0 and ada1 are 160GB drives and ada2 and ada3 are 2TB drives. I've tried several times through the installer to create a mirror but the installer ends with an error every time.

So where does this leave me? I've had to install everything on one drive. Can anyone walk me through the process of adding a drive to the FSTAB and migrating /usr/home to he new drive then raiding both of them? My FSTAB isn't exactly standard as it uses /dev/label" entries so the FreeBSD guide does not apply here.

Anyone have any helpful advice on how to properly install a mirror from scratch or how to do the above?

Thanks.

Default Try PC-BSD 8.1
I've gone back to PC-BSD 8.1 so the installer will recognize my raid system.

Works well if you don't mind being on 8.1 instead of 9.0 .
