I'm brand new to FreeBSD and unix for that matter. I don't think I
installed FreeBSD correctly on my hardware RAID 1. Here is my df -h and

Did I screw it up? If so, is there a way to "fix" it with dd or
something? Thanks for the non-flame comments.

You should be able to fix it in /etc/fstab. Just replace ad4 with ar0.
Test it with /tmp, unmount it, replace the string in /etc/fstab and then
"mount -a". If everything is fine, there you go.

HTH, Helmut

Sorry for my lack of RTFM'ing... I'm still an uber-noob. What do you mean by
"test it with /tmp"? Like umount /tmp then mount /tmp to ar0s1e?

And if I can see the same stuff I did before the umount then I can assume
it's fixed?

Then change all the mounts in /etc/fstab then issue 'mount -a.' Last
question: can I do the mount -a while I'm logged in? Or would it be better
to just reboot? I hear that unix doesn't have to reboot but it doesn't make
sense to me that I will be in / and I umount at the same time.

Thanks!
