X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2004 17:07:58 -0000 To the owners of a Dell PowerEdge 2600 server running FreeBSD 5.2.1: I am in the process of a system purchase as above. It is coming with PERC4/Di hard drive controller. By looking at the hardware compatibility list for 4.10, it is supported. I do not see this same piece of hardware on the compatibility list for FreeBSD 5.2.1. Anyone comment or suggestion please! Btw, if this system is going to be a hardware RAID level 5, does it really still a matter for the support under FreeBSD 5.2.1? S. Mohammad [login@istop.com]
