Neither statement would be at all true. Same with BCE, > it's quite well supported. > Well, both the SAS part of mpt(4) and the functionality for BCM5708S weren't available in FreeBSD 6. Of course, this doesn't obviously mean that they're not well supported. In regards to the specific mpt(4). It got patches in Linux 2.6.21 to get it working. Since I can't provide details, let's stick with: Great to see that both, the mpt(4) and the bce(4) (the specific ones used in HS21 blades) are supported. I already did some stress testing with MySQL in a production replication setup and everything looks stable. So far, so good. If I encounter any problems (panics, whatever) I'd be glad to help out with testing and testing and testing :) ./Marian
