We have many many 2950, 1950, 860, etc servers running FreeBSD. 6.2 without issue. Many of which are in a fairly taxing environment (webmail cluster with 25k users), as well as other purposes. I've only run across one issue, and it was on an earlier one. This was related more to the raid controller than anything, and required some 'camcontrol' setting to be changed: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2007-February/033071.html However, I wouldnt worry about that unless you have a problem. --falz
