[-- Attachment #1 --] Here is a reply that I got yesterday that might help you. Thanx to Mike.

Most likely candidates for support are DTP, Mylex and the AMIMegaRAID. See http://www.freebsd.org/~msmith/RAID for drivers for STABLE for the Mylex and MegaRAID. Although the drivers are prelim, I have had good luck with two test boxes on a DAC960PL and an 1428MegaRAID running RAID 0,1 and 5. Note, there are no management applications yet, so you will have to boot to LINUX or DOS or to the card's BIOS to adjust/rebuild your RAID sets. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."
