[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, this is not actually related to your question, but I have one question of my own about your choice of hardware for FreeBSD 4.1. We're about to purchase somewhat identical hardware equipment, and I wonder if you have planed to use the optional Perc 2 RAID controller? I'm not sure if this is natively supported by the new 4.1 release. If not so, is the BETA driver (aac) supplied by Michael Smith (http://people.freebsd.org/~msmith/RAID/) tested in production environment? Any comments are greatly appreciated.
