Just as an aside, one of our vendors has informed us that DPT told them that the 'standard' DPT raid and cache cards that have been supported by FreeBSD are being 'phased out' and will be unavailable starting in September. The SmartCache IV and SmartRaid IV cards (pm2144 and PM3334 models) are the ones we specifically were talking about. Hopefully the SmartRaid V will be supported under FreeBSD before then.
