Hello, I know that this probably doesn't help much, but I do recall reading in several different places that support for Intel firmware raid in both FreeBSD and Linux is very shaky and limited a best. Is there any particular reason you want to use it instead of using ZFS or gmirror/gstripe/graid5? - Sincerely, Dan Naumov _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
