Howdy, Thanks for the info. I'm looking at converting the DPT SmartRAID V driver that Mark Salyzyn made available for FreeBSD 2.2.x. Mark informed me that the conversion was on his list of things to do, but wouldn't be happening in the short term. Any gotchas that I should be aware of before allocating large amounts of time to this?
