In-Reply-To: <199608132119.RAA05079@charlotte.spiders.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hardware@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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. - troy Troy Arie Cobb troy@circle.net ------------------------------------------------------ | Circle Net, Inc. | global internet access | | http://www.circle.net | for western north carolina | | info@circle.net | and beyond... | | 704-254-9500 | | ------------------------------------------------------
