Do what? Is this a problem with the driver? I can reliablly move alot
of stuff around on my box in windows, but I've had lockups, etc in
Linux... I just recently went to a 3940UW. I have 5 4Gig UW drives on
channel A and 4 devices on Channel B. What Impact should I see now? Ive
been staying in paranoid mode in that, if I have a couple of the drives
unmounted it's more reliable and haven't tried all devices in use with
the 3940controller...
Any more details?
