Because I hoped buy (at least not true hardware) raid adapter on which I can create some logical device(fat32 contained more than 100Gb of mp3's&films), which will clear visible under windows xp and FreeBSD. My girl prefers windows, I -- FreeBSD:) But each other of us likes music:) My summary: - true hardware raids like 3ware is expensive for me for home. - external software raid or simple sataII/sata300 controllers have same problem: there are no stable drivers for FreeBSD I have played w/ sil3112(wow!!!!:)) and Promise...:( At the moment I playing w/ Promise SATAII TX2plus(it's just controller card)... I have setuped gmirror. But driver has stability problem. (I have tried 6.1-stable, today I upgraded my home box to -current). Sometimes I see setfeatures messages warnings and i/o stops on disks, connected to promise controller. I will investigate it then send bugreports to hardware@.... Thank you. -- Best wishes, Coredumped.
