I'm trying to set up a raidz pool on 4 disks attached to an Asus P5BV-M motherboard with an Intel ICH7R. The bios lets me pick IDE, RAID, or AHCI for the disks. I'm not interested in the motherboard's raid, and reading previous posts, it sounded like there were performance advantages to picking AHCI. However, I am getting errors and I am unable to create the pool. Running format tells me

I find reports from 2006 that the ICH7R is well supported, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any suggestions? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
