According to the documentation this is not the case and the XOR
calcs are done in hardware on the onboard HPT 601.


Maybe I'm confused and we are talking about different cards.


Quite possibly all other highpoint cards that Im aware of are
software RAID.

Note: all tests are being done on i386 not AMD64 due to our requirement
for i386 Linux emulation which it is my understanding is not available when
running AMD64 FreeBSD.


Linux/i386 emulation works quite well on FreeBSD/amd64 and is getting better every day. There is active development on it at the moment.


Now that is very interesting. Are you talking in 5.x stream or in 6.x?
I cant risk putting 6x on this machine but would be quite willing to
throw 5.x AMD64 on it and give it a whirl.


I just installed the Linux StarOffice 7 suite on FreeBSD/amd64 running a recent 6-CURRENT. 5-STABLE isn't too far behind in the linux emulation area, from what I understand. The biggest problem is that you need to compile in the COMPAT_LINUX32 and LINPROCFS options as they don't build as modules right now.
