Hi, Anyone using FreeBSD on a Compaq Proliant ML350G3 with Smart Array 642? I'm offered a setup like this for a high IO system (log server) and would just like to make sure that FreeBSD will see the Raid 5 array properly. I can see the ar driver supports quite a long list of Smart Array devices, but I can't see the 642 listed. Does FreeBSD see the hot-swap remove-disk/add-disk events? If so, can the raid array be re-built without shutting down the OS and rebuilding the array from the SCSI card bios? If not, is there a Raid 5 controller that has better support with FreeBSD? Also, do I need to use 5.2 or can I still use the stable branch? Thanks in advance folks. I'll post a summary of replies. ciao dave --- Dave Edwards dave.edwards@adelaide.on.net || davo@chunga.apana.org.au wh: +618 8226 5426 || ah: +618 8365 0024 || Mob: 0408 808 355 Adelaide, South Australia ----
