I just spoke with DPT tech support, who very rudely
informed me that THEY had no plans for a FreeBSD driver
for their cacheing raid controller.  They have one for
BSDI, though.

So, that leads me to this question:  is there ANY RAID
controller card that is supported by FreeBSD?  Even one
that "pretends" to be a regular SCSI and combines the disks
under one SCSI-ID is fine, so long as it doesn't require me
to go buy a proprietary machine (like Compaq), ugh.

I'm putting together a kick-ass NFS server and RAID 5 is a
must-have for this.  Any pointers, comments, suggestions would
be much appreciated.
