There is also onboard SCSI with 4GB DAT. Currently this runs Windows NT 4.0 Server and we're using it as fileserver. Since I'm not satisfied with performance and stability, I want to get ridd off NTs. Since the only storage is RAID5 logical disk, is there any chance to install FreeBSD directly on RAID5 (customized boot.flp) or do we have to buy additional disk for installing through onboard SCSI (controller and tape are recognized by boot disk, so that shouldn't be a problem) and after that install SMART-2/P Controller with drives? Has anybody expirence with similar configuration? Branko Kmetec brane@mra.si To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
