I have to note that Solaris x86 driver (chs) is also almost unusable, because automatic hot-swap rebuild function does not work under x86 Solaris and no utilities exist to initiate rebuild manually. You'll have to shut system down for disk replace and rebuild. I've had this trouble lately and finally customer installed Windows 2000 server instead of Solaris for new database server. -- Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
