Hello I am considering a Dell 2950 with the PERC5/e SAS RAID controller attached to their MD1000 SAS JBOD product and I would like to run 6.2- RELEASE on it (when it comes out). Has anyone had any experience with this hardware scenario with FreeBSD? Is the PERC5/e controller supported? My research on this topic has not lead to a conclusion one way or another, as the man page for the mfi(4) driver indicates that the PARC5/i (the internal controller in the 2950 that I will have the OS live on) is supported and that the LSI 8480E is supported (which I've heard that the PERC5/e is based on) but not the PERC5/e explicitly. Any insight would be much appreciated!
