I will | provide an update if successful. | | In the meantime if anybody else is aware of another work around of fix | for this, I appreciate hearing about it. If a patch comes out soon, I | will be happy to provide testing, but I have a small window as this | server was being implemented as an emergency replacement for another server. Upgrade the mfi driver to -stable. Doug A.
