The symlink trick works to make the executable run, but I personally haven't had any success getting it to actually communicate with the RAID card. (Tested with Adaptec 2010S) Here's a thread on freebsd-scsi where Scott Long basically says the ASR tools aren't going to work on 5.x without a substantial overhaul. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-scsi/2004-January/000961.html Kris
