Are there any of the new boards supported in the 4.0 Release? I checked in the Release Notes and it doesn't seem so. It's strange that a good Server Operating System does not have good support for the newer RAID hardware. On the DPT website it says for the FreeBSD driver "Coming Soon" whatever that means. Which one would be the best choice of RAID controller for FreeBSD today? When will SmartRAID V and VI supported? Regards, Rainer. "Kenneth D.
