I use this on systems with 2100s, and with 2010s. cd /usr/ports/sysutils/asr-utils; make install clean Make sure it installs compat4x, it should as it is listed as a dependency. Add this to /etc/rc.conf: compat4x_enable="YES" add "options ASR_COMPAT" to your kernel and rebuild the kernel Reboot. That's it. You can use "raidutil -A off" to silence the alarm once it is active. As well as checking the drives with "raidutil -L all". You can get more/less detail, just check the command line options. Jim
