Not exactly the same, but similar, I'm running an Opteron 4228 HE on: FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE #4 r241041M: Mon Oct 15 23:30:25 PDT 2012 jmg@gold.funkthat.com:/usr/src.9stable/sys/amd64/compile/gold amd64 The only "issue" I had was lots of error messages when ever powerd would ch= ange processor speed... There is a patch out there to fix it... I haven't been having issues w/ ZFS... I have a fully GELI+ZFS system, bot= h root and data store and its working fine... I'm using an HPT2720SGL adap= ter for most of the disks issues so far.. The system is lightly loaded, but has been working well... --=20 John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
