In my message I asked whether it was feasible for you to look at FreeBSD's "ataraid(4)" driver to learn the Intel ICHx-R SoftRAID format. I know FreeBSD understands this format, and dmraid did not when I sent the email. The hardware I was looking at is ICH7-R. It only works in compatibility mode, which only saw one drive for some reason. Bottom line: 3Ware Escalade are cheap enough not to bother with this SoftRAID stuff... -- Matthias Andree - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
