I am currently using it in RAID-5 mode and that works well. However, it did not work at all with RAID-10. Initially it worked but it could not rebuild the array. A firmware upgrade fixed that but then initialization would fail. Your mileage may vary and hopefully 3Ware will start supporting FreeBSD. -- Glenn Johnson USDA, ARS, SRRC Phone: (504) 286-4252 New Orleans, LA 70124 e-mail: gjohnson@srrc.ars.usda.gov
