Thanks for your response. Yes, unfortunately, the DAG software for the DAG card we wish to use on this machine supports 5.4, but has not been thoroughly tested for more recent versions of FreeBSD. We could use Linux, but I prefer FreeBSD. I am exploring switching the PERC 5i with a PERC 4 controller on this machine (it's a Dell Poweredge 2900). The PERC 4 is supported in 5.4 Jerry McAllister wrote: > On Tue, Nov 06, 2007 at 11:46:30AM -0500, Jay Aikat wrote: > >> I am trying to install an Endace DAG card for traffic capture on a new >> machine with 8 drives installed using a PERC 5i controller.
