Hello,

Would appreciate any help with the following matter:

I use Adaptec 3200S with FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE. I created RAID5 array with
this controller (it was 5-prerelease that time), both raidutil and dptmgr
worked. Now I need to add disks to the array, but these utilities fail to
establish the connection with the following error message:
   osdIOrequest : File /dev/rdptr17 Could Not Be Opened
What should I do to make them work?

Another question is about on-the-fly rebuild of the RAID5 array. I have
read on the adaptec.com that it is supported only under NT4/W2K. Is it
really impossible to accomplish this under FreeBSD, in combination with
fdisk/disklabel/growfs? Maybe not on the fly, but without destroying the
array?

Thanks a lot,
Alex
