My problem with 3ware controllers is that the 3dm monitoring software that works for a recent kernel does not support for older controllers (6xxx series in my case). I've got a couple 6xxx controllers and while they are still chugging along fine, the only way I get notified of drive failules is to watch /var/log/messages as I can't figure out how to get the RAID status through /proc or /sys. That's my only beef with the 3ware controllers that I've had, I haven't used any of the newer ones yet. -Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
