I've been using the 3Ware cards for 2 years on FreeBSD... We had a drive go south a few weeks ago, and the 3dmd (3Ware daemon) reported the problem to me. I had a local hardware tech go out and replace the drive, boot up the system, and then over the net, I rebuilt the array. It was back up and running after about 20 minutes. I did contact 3Ware tech support when this first happened, to make sure that I was following the steps of rebuilding the array correctly. They responded within 24 hours, and told me yes, I was doing this correctly. And I did mention to them it was FreeBSD. At no time, did they ever mention that they didn't support FreeBSD. And that 3Ware daemon works great... Have it running on all of my systems all over the country.
