I read the hardware compatibility list and do not find the AMD 1500 Raid controllers listed. But on the FreeBSD Kernel information page I do find a listing for the MegaRaid. # RAID controllers device ida # Compaq Smart RAID device amr # AMI MegaRAID ****Here is a paste from the kernal section of the web guide****** device mlx # Mylex DAC960 family So is this Raid compatable? Has anyone used this configuration? Here is a quote on the hardware I have at this time.
