The same could be said for most LSI megaRAID products. http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=mfi&sektion=4&arch=i386&apropos=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current seems to be an exception, but I doubt it's the card Jeff is describing. A skim through http://www.openbsd.org/amd64.html in the RAID and Cache Controllers section gives me the impression that the only controllers worth spending money on are the mfi ones and the arc ones. Anything else is best run in JBOD mode and managed through raidframe/softraid. -- Chris Dukes
