Hi, Scott Long wrote: There is no documentation on anything related to this that I know of. Sorry. These are decent cards, but there seems to be little chance that Adaptec or IBM will support online management under FreeBSD. Thanks for the reply. I looked through the driver code and wrote an "ipsstat" utility that uses the user command ioctl to query what is going on. The output isn't pretty; my main purpose is to have someone be notified if a logical drive goes into degraded mode. Example output below. The implementation is pretty straightforward; I'm happy to hand out the source. Regards, Jan.

I got a note from IBM that they will discontinue the ServerRAID 6M series. Best Regards Jeroen Molinger I guess that by 'support' that you are referring to the problem with it not seeing a failed drive? I really have no idea how that is supposed to work, if at all.
