Then the 3Ware card must not be doing something that a typical SCSI card does, and more typical of a "dumb" block ATA driver, even though it's using the SCSI subsystem. > If you do everything in the right order, you can replace > a failed hot-swap scsi drive and rebuild the software > raid without shutting the machine down. Again, SCSI cards must have some added notification, or at least the ones you are using. I guess that would make sense, because there _is_ the "host adapter" on-board. In any case, 3Ware cards do _not_ do it for JBOD. -- Bryan J.
