FWIW, this is SATA. I hit up -scsi since I (think) that's where whoever deals with mpt(4) lives. The controller does present the array as a scsi device, but thankfully (oh so very thankfully), there's no scsi cabling involved. Say what you will about SATA and SAS, but I'm really happy to not have to deal with terminators, jumpers and all that other drek anymore. Thanks, Charles > -- > Bob Bishop > rb@gid.co.uk > > > > >
