Sun already has the drivers to do this, its part of the Solstice DiskSuite stuff. I have a ultra-1 here that is using 2 sbus scsi controllers and striping several 4GB disks, works great. Of course I would prefer to have it running FreeBSD-SPARC instead of Solaris but thats going to be a while :) Or is there a problem with 2940UW's? I missed part of this thread.
