I'm not sure what cards you can get now with the LSI 1068E chip. As LSI branded cards cost more, I went for for the LSI SAS2008 based Supermicro AOC-USAS2-L8i as I new I wasn't going to use port expanders. It could be hard to get cards with the older chip now (you might have to get something second hand). The Supermicro AOC-USAS-L4i wouldn't be enough for you as it's only got 1 external connector. http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AOC-USAS-L4i_R.cfm I'd be happy to help with debugging the 6G problem.

A developer (of which I'm not) would need console access and ability to install new kernels, reboot etc. Good luck... _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
