OpenBSD will not support IM until someone unslacks and adds it to the driver. so finally do it - you have been promising that to our users for two releases now. oups, thas was not supposed to go to the list -- BS Web Services, http://www.bsws.de/ OpenBSD-based Webhosting, Mail Services, Managed Servers, ...

Can you trust the card? Is it just if IM is set up that causes problem? Thanks in advance Per-Olov

Can you trust the card? Is it just if IM is set up that causes problem? I dont recall *any* issue with running these cards under openbsd as long as the mirror was not used. There was no drawback. As an alternative...if you use equal disks, you can slice and dice them (the same as the main one) and then run rsync as often as you like to create a pseudo 'offline' mirror. Thats what I do with IDE machinesand the nice thing, is that unlike a mirror...if I delete something I can still grab it off the 2nd drive as long as I hit it before the cron rsync runs :-) If I did have any issue (I really cant recall) it would be on the mailing list archives. -JD
