How to install with raid-1 (mirroring)

xhark

Hi,

I'm install pfsense on new PC : "asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2" (http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=4COREDUAL-SATA2)

if RAID is active in BIOS, pfSense say that no hard disk are present !

when I desactive RAID, pfSense see 2 HDD.

idea ? ???

I've solved the problem, here is the solution :

activate RAID in BIOS (F2 for my MB)
create array for raid-1 with motherboard utility (ctrl+z on qwerty and ctrl+w on azerty)
return in BIOS and desactivate RAID (=> "non raid")
launch pfSense installation

pfSense see 3 HDD : 2 in SATA and the RAID ! select the raid and all is ok !

I don't understand where raid is managed (OS or motherboard ?).

I've try to create some file and unplug on disk : raid is ok (file is on both disks)

no explication, just a solution… if someone can explain ? ???
