bzzst! *WRONG* we have had support for the RAID's on fasttracks since: /sys/dev/ata/ata-raid.c revision 1.1 date: 2000/10/13 13:04:45; author: sos; state: Exp; Add support for ATA "pseudo" RAID controllers as the Promise Fasttrak and HighPoint HPT370 controllers. I wrote that over a year ago, and it supports the RAID's on *BOTH* Promise and HighPoint based controllers. It does have a few issues though in array failure cases, but thats easily fixed, I just need the time to do it... -S�ren To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
