Both the network controllers and the raid controllers are detected and work fine. There is one caveat, and that is the fact that we have experienced deadlocks on these machines under high network stress, as discussed on this mailinglist earlier. Wether this is a driver problem related to the NIC, or some generic problem in the 6.1 and 6.2 kernels under high network load(we typically have 100k+ states in pf simultaneously) is uncertain at the moment. With more normal load, and in other roles than the router/fw role, the servers perform as expected. brgrds Oystein Kaldhol BOFH-in training County of More & Romsdal Norway
