FreeBSD handles plenty of "software" (metadata only) RAIDs, though I believe that an archive search will turn up that the sil3112 is possibly the worst such RAID ever and was a poor choice of RAID card, however cheap. Try google. SiL are listed among the controllers supported by ataraid on 6.1 so I would expect the RAID to be recognised even if it performed badly. I've not used such a RAID so perhaps some specific action with atacontrol is required. --Alex
