Hi, Can you please clarify which linux works and how large the individual disks are? My problem under BSD is 2-fold: 1. There is an open PR for this LSI device at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=144326 2. My smallest disk is 2TB Without visiting the datacentre, I have no device to install to. thanks! -- John - comp dot john at googlemail dot com OpenBSD firewall | FreeBSD desktop | Ubuntu Karmic laptop GPG: 0xF08A33C5
