What version of the firmware are you using on the card ? I have this on a busy db server. But its RELENG8. twa0: <3ware 9000 series Storage Controller> port 0x1000-0x10ff mem 0xb0000000-0xb1ffffff,0xb4000000-0xb4000fff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci12 twa0: [ITHREAD] twa0: INFO: (0x15: 0x1300): Controller details:: Model 9650SE-2LP, 2 ports, Firmware FE9X 3.08.00.016, BIOS BE9X 3.08.00.004 I have had good luck with Areca cards as well, but they start in 4 port models. But really, all should work just fine with this 3ware/LSI card ---Mike On 1/3/2011 3:58 PM, Troy Beisigl wrote: > Hi All, > > We have been seeing a problem with FreeBSD 7.3 and up where the system > will just hang when using a 9650SE-2LP raid card and 2 500G drives > mirrored.
