One thing has happened though, the HSG60 I have consists of two controllers (for fault tolerance). One of the controllers broke, and the FreeBSD machine has two virtual disks, one from each controller. The good controller took over from the failed controller. Then the virtual disks swaped order when booting it couldn't boot. I had to boot in single user mode and swap the device names in /etc/fstab, and change it back when the controller was fixed. Other than that, working like a charm. Using Legato Networker to do backups, which also works great. /Jakob > hi there > > Thursday, November 29, 2001, 3:54:13 PM, Jakob Alvermark wrote: > > > Hi! > > > We are using the QLA 2200 with FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE with a Compaq HSG60. > > It works. > > does it work fine ? > > I've seen some strange notes in 'man isp': > > The driver currently ignores some NVRAM settings. > > The driver currently doesn't do error recovery for timed out commands > very gracefully. > > Target mode support isn't completely debugged yet.
