But since my epic battle trying to make the Promise Fasttrak 2300TX (PDC20580?) works right in Raid1, 2 weeks ago I'm a bit concern about those new SATA controllers. Myself I have a PDC20378 in (heavy) production with 5.4-CURRENT and its flawless, I also have a 3ware also in heavy production (way cool but pricy). But I'm wondering if the 6300ESB controller was still stable in 6-CURRENT? ----- And for Roger, > Oh well, replacing the SATA cable fixed it, I'm terribly sorry about that :( Meaning? I know of only 1 cable format. Thanks. ----- Anybody need a Promise Fasttrak 2300TX to develop/test/fix? I know that the 6-CURRENT driver wasn't recognizing the Raid config with the 2.5.x firmware, but was ok with the original firmware (2.0.x) Let me know. -- Alain Hebert ahebert@pubnix.net PubNIX Inc.
