But if it's completely hardware based as Adaptec claims, then it might work. Though I am not sure if FreeBSD can handle 2 TB of disk space. I don't think that fsck will like such high amount of disk space either. Cheers, Jorn On 4/6/2004, "Chris Knipe" wrote: >Lo all, > >How much of SATA is supported in FreeBSD??
