No. I'm sure Mike Smith will reply, but in case he doesn't, I think 3ware is using FreeBSD with Mike's driver for a NAS solution that they plan to market.

Also, tell your boss to call up 3ware and ask for their opinion. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
