Details at: http://www.freebsd.uwaterloo.ca/twiki/bin/view/Freebsd/BackupServerProblem (go to the bottom and click on "diffs" to see recent changes) I have openned a bug report: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/50201 As an aside related to some other posts on this topic, my tests with 3ware array rebuilding on FreeBSD worked fine. I was not able to test out the hot spare feature, as that would require faking a drive failure on a live system, and I could not think of an elegant way to do that. (Suggestions welcome). I suppose I could just switch off the power to a drive. What I did do was shut the system down, and pull out a member drive, booted immediately, and the array rebuilt itself in the background. That seems acceptable. ---------------------------------------- This mail sent through www.mywaterloo.ca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
