Spike, I may be misunderstanding your situation here but my understanding is that with mdadm the RAID information is stored on the disk in the superblock, so you should just be able to plug the drives into the new mobo and it will "Just Work". The SAS 6/i is a plain controller, isn't it? ie. it's not doing any RAID? R. -- "Feed that ego and you starve the soul" - Colonel J.D.
