Lo all, How much of SATA is supported in FreeBSD?? A couple of questions if I = may.... Firstly, is the Adaptec 2819SA (8-Port SATA RAID Controller) supported = by FreeBSD (4.8/4.9), and if it is, will a ufs file system cope with a = 2TB, or bigger partition (8 x 250GB SATA). I then also presume that if = the OS supports the partition, I should have no problems in regards to = applications reading/writing to and from that partition (samba mainly). >From what I can see at Adaptec, this card is COMPLETELY hardware based, = which tells me that any OS will see the RAID Array as a single hard = drive, and therefore it should make very little difference whether or = not it is supported. But yeah, with 2TB, I'd rather not take chances... The alternative is to build up a new Win2003 Server, and for that I = really do not have the patience :) Regards, Me
