I've been using the DPT controller with Debian but only for RAID 1. I've had no trouble except for the e2fsprog bug. The RAID functionality is implemented in hardware and appears as a normal disk to Debian. The only downside I've seen is that DPT's configuration software is not available for Linux. -- Jean Pierre -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
