Order > something better (Soren recommends Promise cards). Are all Promise cards currently supported? Even their 8/16+ port "SATA-II" RAID6 cards? PCI-Express? The list of supported controllers suggests it maxes out at some of their more basic 4 port cards, but maybe the bigger cards just have multiple controller chips? The ata manpage could use a little more detail on this; if nothing else, it should have an asterisk next to the chipsets that aren't expected to work reliably, like the entire SiI range :) -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst http://hur.st/
