But has it made it into the mainline kernel yet? 3w-xxxx has been in mainline for a *long* time. 3w-9xxx is still settling a bit, that's true, but it's doing so in mainline. Personally, I wouldn't put important data on an Areca controller until the drivers have been through wider testing than the -mm series (where I believe they're currently percolating). -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
