One HUGE problem I have found is that I can't make world when using RAID 5. I s ent in a message about that with no response. Same card same everying, redone wi th 2 drives mirrored works great. Also I had a card barf today doing a make world -j3 on a 400 MHZ pent II system . It bailed and rebooted the system. Without the j3 it seems to be OK. I plan on using Lots of these cards. So any&all insight/info would be welcome.
