Since there's no Veritas Volume Manager for FreeBSD, I assume this was on
some other platform. I've had generally good reports about both the AMI
and Adaptec controllers on FreeBSD, and if you have any specific gripes
about the cards or drivers in this environment, we'd be glad to hear
them. I'm sorry to hear that you had such a terrible time, but I don't
think your reports are particularly germane.
Regards,
Mike
