(I am mainly interested in the upcoming 2.2.8-RELEASE or > 3.0-RELEASE, or current -STABLE, or -CURRENT branches). This is becoming a FAQ. :-) If you're looking for a host-based RAID controller, then to the best of my knowledge only those manufactured by DPT are supported (http://www.dpt.com/). The drivers have been integrated since 2.2.6-R (or was it only 2.2.7-R?). If you're going to go the SCSI-to-SCSI RAID route, you have more options. > Also, if anyone has any input on success/failures with different card > configurations, I would appreciate your input as well. Having great success with DPT cards, though there was an initial learning curve. Give me a shout before you make any decisions; I have some docs I can send you. -- V Johann Visagie | wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 | ICQ: 20645559 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
