Everything looks fine here (I'm running RAID-5 over 4 HDDs). A little problem is that once a HDD fails, FreeBSD doesn't know that unless I reboot it and saw the ips state is DEGRADED. pciconf & dmesg are listed as below: ips0@pci3:14:0: class=0x010400 card=0x028e1014 chip=0x02509005 rev=0x07 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Adaptec Inc' class = mass storage subclass = RAID ips0: mem 0xcfffd000-0xcfffdfff irq 38 at device 14.0 on pci3 ips0: Reserved 0x1000 bytes for rid 0x10 type 3 at 0xcfffd000 ips0: [GIANT-LOCKED] ips0: logical drives: 1 ips0: Logical Drive 0: RAID5 sectors: 430116864, state OK ipsd0: on ips0 ipsd0: Logical Drive (210018MB) Regards, Rong-En Fan
