I've been using HEAD with 3ware adapters and all of my test machines are completely non-functional. I had my team working directly with 3ware for two weeks and they offered a tip here and there. Ultimately we ended up with a non-functioning systems and a good idea what's wrong with the twa driver. I offered to help fund and provide hardware for a development effort to update their driver to support HEAD but they refused to help. I am worried about 3ware's commitment to the future of FreeBSD and the twa driver at this point, 3ware is not the least bit concerned (even with a large customer): > From: xxx_at_amcc.com > Subject: RE: 3ware driver issues-Machine to be dropped at 3ware > Date: May 7, 2007 5:14:04 PM PDT > > Good Afternoon.

It would be weeks/months before we can work on this... I would like to find a SATA RAID controller that plays nice by a company that is FreeBSD friendly and progressively working on their drivers. Does anyone have any suggestions other than to not use the 7.0 branch? -BarrettReceived on Tue May 08 2007 - 12:57:46 UTC
