I would like to use FreeBSD instead of Linux for our production Un*x systems mainly because I think it may be more stable. However I have found that it seems to be "missing" some things I find usefull: Support for the BT950 Scsi card from Buslogic (The FlashPoint). Support for s/w RAID0 (ala Linux md). I have scoured the FAQ's etc and found refs in list archives to the BT950 driver saying thet Buslogic wont release driver specs - they seem to have done so now, at least Linux supports it so its documented in the code - any chance of FreeBSD!? The RAID0 seems to be covered with the concatenated disk driver (ccd 4) but does this work well? Anybody tried it for say a news box?? The Linux md code works really well, even under load with lots of disks (I have 10 4Gb disks and it;s pretty good). The latest (I think) FreeBSD 2.1.6 Release Notes mention improved drivers for the : Buslogic 946c PCI SCSI controller Buslogic 956c PCI SCSI controller SCSI cards but not the BT950 -- Leigh
