What is the Adaptec model for this IBM card? Most of the standard Adaptec cards seem to have SW that works. First, apologies, my fingers slipped - the card is a 6i. I have been unable to locate the Adapec equivalent and I've even seen that some cards have been made for them by LSI - the chipset on the mobo (xSeries 345) is from LSI. But in fact the box this card came in has both the IBM and Adaptec logos so this one is indeed from Adaptec. There is a P/N 13N2190 but I can't match it with Adaptec and think it's an IBM number. It has CLI.

I'd of course greatly prefer to find something that works with the card that I own... :) d. Adpatec guys has very lil support for BSD's.

What about other block sizes? Also - you should paste your actual dd output here too. What's the model number of that drive? Maxtor claims (on one of their 160G drives) 17.8MB/s from inner diameter disk and 35.6MB/s for outer diameter for the 5400rpm drives. Yes, try 64k instead of 8k, and also compare read speeds. If you have the time (could take an hour or so), try dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/null bs=64k, run an iostat 60 in another window, let the dd run through the entire disk, and compare the relative speeds from start to finish. For the DiamondMax 160, the sustained throughput should be 26MB - 50MB as you go from inner to outer tracks. OK with the above dd dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/null bs=64k it gives me 56MB/s. from the start.

RC1 sees the drives but not single raid but two separate drives. Here are some combinations I tried. FreeBSD 5.3-Release onboard RAID--Doesnt work. FreeBSD 5.3-RC-1 onboard RAID--Works but sees single drives not RAID FreeBSD 4.11 onboard RAID--Works but sees single drives not RAID. FreeBSD 5.3-Release Adaptec 2120S--Doesnt work.
