This is straight off the ISOs Yes, ataraid for many sil0680 (and 649) cards is broken. See my latest PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D72897 I also reported it back in July: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3D1876414+0+archive/2004/freeb= sd-current/20040704.freebsd-current http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3D199650+0+archive/2004/freebs= d-current/20040711.freebsd-current Since nobody seemed to care about I started another thread: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3D370257+0+archive/2004/freebs= d-current/20040718.freebsd-current =46or 5-stable it's too late, but anyway, the ata performance doesn't allow= me=20 to use it for production environment.
