Regarding S300 I'm sorry, I wouldn't be able to tell, all I've been able to test was H200. So, now that I'm at work, a more detailed response regarding Dell r210 with Perc H200 raid controllers. First of all, you're going to need the mps driver which is available in 8-STABLE (8.3-PRERELEASE), 9.0-RELEASE and 9-STABLE. It is *not* available as per the stock 8.2-RELEASE iso image. Second, you're going to need to disable the hardware raid so that your disks actually appear to the OS, then create a software raid on them. This is done by hitting Ctrl+R when asked to, during the machine's boot process. Third, there has been a recent update to mps by Kashyap DESAI as published by Kenneth D. Merry: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2012-January/031358.html The update is available on 8-STABLE and 9-STABLE and it might bring hardware raid support for H200 controllers.
