[HP N40L] Can't boot with Hard RAID On

[jeje91m]

Hi,

I've setup my N40L today but when I use RAID on BIOS (to do Hardware RAID1), Nas4Free (installed on USB Key) won't boot.

Is the controller not supported by Nas4Free ?
Have you a solution for me ?

Thanks a lot,
Best regards

please consider do NOT use RAID BIOS because you are in risk, if your HP N40L fail you need exactly same HP to mount your RAID, use ZFS Raid (Raidz1) is a best and Robust sollution.

Please read more about ZFS, an example: http://forums.freenas.org/showthread.ph ... light=.PPT

Thanks a lot for the advice, this is what I've doing today ^^

Last question, should I enable Disk Write Cache in BIOS ?

Thanks

yes, But use UPS to avoid damage in case of power lost ( ZFS recover very well of power lost but better if not necessary).
