Well, honestly, someone who is knowledgeable enough to set up a complex _bootable_ geom based raid on an existing install would probably find it easier to do what I usually do: 1) Boot install CD and go to fixit mode 2) Set up RAID the way I want 3) Do a manual install by extracting the packages onto the new filesystem That avoids the intermediate install and the hassle of migrating partitions around. That said, I think it might be a good idea to have a few simple RAID configurations in the installer -- say a full-disk mirror or something relatively fool-resistant. I'm sure patches would be welcome if anyone wants to step up :) Craig _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
