How was the recovery process? We had a 40GB rackmount RAID, DPT UW controller, max memory (all hardware from DPT). Ran it for a couple of weeks in RAID 5. >NEVER< got a reliable rebuild to occur. Involved DPT tech support who eventually threw up their hands and said "send it back, we can't fix it". Also speed tests in RAID 0 showed that DPT was FAR slower than running 3 SCSI controllers with ccd. This was about a year ago, YMMV. /\/\ \/\/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
