I've got a Compaq Proliant 3000 with three drives in a hot-plug chassis that I was told by someone else a while back (you?) speak SAF-TE. Unfortunately, I'm running -STABLE on that box. If this would happen to work with -STABLE, I just _happen_ to have a disk that is giving me fits (medium errors resulting in unrecoverable read errors) and am about to go in tomorrow to swap it with another disk. Since the disk wasn't really doing anything too terribly important (holding one-third of my Squid cache, /usr/obj, and a copy of the FreeBSD CVS repository), I can hold off replacing it for a while if it needs to be used as a test subject. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
