That's okay, I am not on all and I'll create some bounces, I am sure.
Has anyone had success with SATA300 controllers with FreeBSD 6.1?
I've been trying Promise and nVidia nForce4 and I'm not having any
luck. Using a MSI K8NGM2-L motherboard and others, but 6.1's
installation hangs as soon as it sees ad4. I've also tried using an
Adaptec 1210SA controller and had zero results. I've read that the
chipset on this controller is not very good - forces serialized
access to the controller's channels??? Nevertheless, I've got a K8N
Diamond motherboard on a workstation and I was able to at least
"start" the 6.1 installation. I have no idea if its stable. At
this point, I'd settle for just knowing "which" SATA300 controller
to use that will work successfully and "well" with FreeBSD 6.0 OR
6.1. Another question, would I have more success installing 6.0 and
then upgrading the kernel and recompiling with a build-world?
I am running 6.0 and 6.1 systems (-STABLE) with both ARECA 12xx cards
and 3WARE/AMCC 9550SX cards.
Neither are cheap, but they are doing the job and are in use in binary
spoolers for news.
I'm currently trying to build a moderate large system with 4 presentation
servers, 2 database servers and one large storage system using NFS mapped to
~1.2 terrabyte of SATA disks (4x Maxtor 500GB 7200 RPM disks w/RAID5
config). Any suggestions?
Up the # of spindles? :)
