      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 ?  ???
