I don't think the Smart 6i is supported yet, last I looked it was in -current but commented out in the kernel config. Maybe a DL145 G1 plus a RAID card? No hot-swap, though. The IBM e326 does hot swap, but I'm not sure what controller they use. I think some (most?) IBM controllers aren't supported. Same for the x306.
