I'd like to connect a FreeBSD system to an IBM NAS system, using a FibreChannel connection. I can find two supported drivers in the system, mpt(4) and isp(4). It seems to me, none of them supports multipath, something we need. Is this a false assumption? Are there other drivers that do support multipath? Recommendations apprecieated. If not, an alternative would be iSCSI, but I have no experience and it seems it is hardly implemented at all for FreeBSD, is that true? Thanks Palle
