[...] charming. i just turned up a identical setup as jose: 4x ibm dtla-307075 in a raid 5 using the 3ware 7410. i will let you know if i start getting any errors. i notice that the Promise SuperTrack is not yet supported. will it be soon? and along those lines, bj's run down of the available ide raid cards was very helpfull, however can someone give a "bottom line" answer of which is better? having the 3ware card now and hearing how the ibm disk are prone to failure, i cannot help but to think that i have gotten ALL of the wrong hardware :) someone want to reassure me that i didn't just spend money on lots of book ends? -r -- echo "send pgp key" | mail ravi@cow.org "god bless ambient electronica. it and classical music are the only two things that keep the voices in my head from actually making me kill." -- me To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
