Today I have fiddled with raid, it has been a pleasant ride. Highpoint has supplied good documentation and most problems has been related to my old hardware. When you get hardware for free, there is bound to be trouble. Only one minor flaw from Highpoint's side, you have to change the configuration file for the raid management tools in order for it to even detect the raid controller. This is mentioned once in the FreeBSD specific installation guide for the driver but not in the CLI-tool guide. The configuration file should look like this.
/etc/hptcfg
rr2210
hptmv.status
rr2210 should be replaced with your driver name. I named my driver rr2210.ko as you can see. After doing this, simply start or restart the daemon using.
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/hptdaemon.sh
And you should now detect your controller.
One last thing, why did Highpoint comment out
echo "The daemon is running. Please stop it first."
In the rc-script? I enabled it again anyhow, things like that can lead to headaches just being given exit 1.
Now, back to using that lovely raid card.
