Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all. I'm thinking about buying a NetFinity 5000 to act as a file/web/email server. The problem is, with over 200 simultaneous NetATalk connection expected, I need RAID support. I haven't even used SCSI on FreeBSD before, let alone RAID! :) So anyway, this should be interesting. Specifically, a salesman who's been quite open to the idea of running an open source OS suggested the IBM ServeRAID-3L to me. He said something that suggests that he actually looked through the web site and found that it was supported under FreeBSD, but I can't find that page. Can anyone confirm or deny that this card will work (with RAID 5 abilities) under FreeBSD 3.2? If not, can anyone recommend a good RAID 5 SCSI controller with a cache?
