Unfortunately this doesn't look like it was reflected in the 6.0 release notes, but a simple query to the mailing lists could have provided up to date status. > or that there are management and monitoring tools > for any Adaptec (U320) card? > Adaptec contributed a large update to their RAID driver for 6.0. They are in the process of releasing an updated management tool for it, though the Linux management tools continue to work perfectly, as they have for the past 3 years. Again, a simple query could have provided up to date status. Scott
