I know FreeBSD support for the 3ware controllers is sketchy, I've read the archives. My original plan was to run FreeBSD with a 3ware 7500-8 controller and a stack of 250gb drives (mmm, storage!). So my alternative is to run Linux, or find another controller that works with BSD. Any recommendations? I need it to work; the marginal "it might rebuild your array" types of things I'm hearing with BSD is scaring me, and I don't like wondering if my 2TB array will fix itself without major work. If BSD supports a similar ATA RAID controller I'm definitely interested in hearing about it (though I'd like BSD to just update the driver they have now, so the one I want will work!), otherwise I may have to revert to Linux for my database server, at least until SCO sues me for running it. *laugh* (See slashdot if you have no clue about what I just said re SCO) Cheers, - Ralph
