Tom,

The ServeRAID 8k s a real hardware raid controller, is has 256 MB of
cache I think and a battery backup. So in this case there is no need
for a 3ware controller. On the IBM website you can also find a
commandline tool (called arcconf) that allows you monitor and
configure the controller inside Linux.

Tim

Hoping the problem  magically goes away  by ignoring it is the
