Hi -=20

Many of you saw my messages last month on getting a 3ware 8506-12 SATA=20
RAID controller working under heavy I/O on 5.2.1/amd64, and despite the=20
work of Paul Saab in getting me a version of the -CURRENT twe driver, it=20
still locks up under heavy I/O. =20

So since this box is behind schedule, and I need to get this box stable,=20
I am likely to side-grade this box to 5.2.1/i386, with the understanding=20
that the twe driver as it stands now just isn't 64-bit compatible.  When=20
5.3-RELEASE is out and the twe driver is hopefully 64-bit clean, I can=20
reconsider going back to amd64 on this box.

Does anyone have a 8506 series (esp. a 8506-12) controller running under=20
5.2.1/i386 in production?  I'd like to know before hand before I make=20
the jump.

Best Wishes - Peter
