Although I would have thought it would have crashed a little more consistently on LINUX. I suppose it is possible its an issue of drive compatibility and turning off the tagging avoided the issue. In that mode, the card was quite stable and performed as expected, but not quite as fast as on FreeBSD. I think I will stick to the Mylex cards for now. ---Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
