FYI for the mailinglists I havenīt had time or the oppotunity to test the new models, but I do know that Compaq will not support newer controllers for FreeBSD (or Linux at the moment). They talked about supporting their controllers in other kinds of hardware than Compaq, but that never happened (and probably never will now), so you actually need an NT partition on your server or a Compaq server (and the use the SmartStart CD) :( ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Purdon" <bobp@southcom.com.au> To: <idaraid@seeberg.dk> Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2001 11:59 AM Subject: Compaq RAID? > > Hi, > > Been checking out your IDA RAID web pages and was hoping you might have > some useful information... > > I have a Compaq SMART Array 3200 controller (the dual channel unit), but > can't find any software to configure the actual arrays.
