Not all of the disks in the array are on the 3ware card - I have two SATA ports on my motherboard (ICH5) which work perfectly well. The 3ware card is there for two MORE channels, so I have a means to do "hot" backups. This is a much better solution than tapes with larger disks, as its both faster and leaves you with a bootable volume when you're done. - -- Karl Denninger ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Internet Consultant & Kids Rights Activist http://www.denninger.net My home on the net - links to everything I do! http://scubaforum.org Your UNCENSORED place to talk about DIVING! http://homecuda.com Emerald Coast: Buy / sell homes, cars, boats! http://genesis3.blogspot.com Musings Of A Sentient Mind _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
