The original small internal drives on the SS2 have long since been replaced by a single 9Gb external unit; and the Ultra 10 comes with one 9Gb drive. So there's no way to even try it without overwriting the OS or getting a second drive. And if I'm buying more hardware, I may as well get a SCSI card for the U10. (Anybody know a good source for a card based on the Symbios 53C871 ?) -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
