Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA HostRAID B2229

Hi,

Problem installing freebsd FreeBSD 9.0 release on the RAID Adaptec HostRAID B2229 (Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA HostRAID) - RAID1 was initially configured via BIOS atapter.

No device /dev/raid/* or /dev/ar0 :(

Code: 
% kldload geom_raid
% kldstat 
Id Refs Address            Size     Name
 1   12 0xffffffff80200000 11cd9b0  kernel
 2    1 0xffffffff813ce000 4ef68    geom_raid.ko

In previous versions of freebsd FreeBSD 8.2 this controller worked successfully through ataraid is defined as /dev/ar0.

Alas, ataraid software RAID is now supported by the graid GEOM class (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/relnotes-detailed.html#AEN1308)

Help me solve the problem?

Thanks.
 
I think Adaptec soft-RAID may use either own metadata format or DDF. Both of them had basic support in ataraid, but unluckily none of then is supported by graid. I am periodically thinking about DDF support, but not yet started.

Yes it is. Adaptec HostRaid B2229 used DDF metadata. How soon will graid be included to support DDF?

Message from freebsd FreeBSD 8.2:
Code: 
ar0: writing of DDF metadata is NOT supported yet
ar0: 715223MB <DDF RAID1> status: READY
ar0: disk0 READY (master) using ad4 at ata3-master
ar0: disk1 READY (mirror) using ad6 at ata2-master
