But we don't have local disks, only SAN. And FreeBSD totally lacks multipathing and failover-support for the integrated Qlogic card (or just about any FC-card). So, this is one more place where I can say "Goodbye" to FreeBSD and "Hello" to RHEL. I found an old posting from Pavel J. Dawidek, claiming to have written a complete MP-solution (GEOM_ROME): http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-geom/2004-January/000064.html But it seemed to be "closed source" back then - I wonder what the status is nowadays. cheers, Rainer
