i have a 3ware card in my production server running a RAID5, and its never skipped a beat. if you dont buy a raid card (with 6 or more channels), try breaking the usage up. put the system partitions on one controller, and build a 4 disk raid5 on the other, and see if it behaves differently (ie, remove the cross-controller-raid from the equation and see what happens). cheers, jonathahn _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
