You should report the problems you find to them. They do indicate (in the knowledge base on their web site) that you're going to need the in-engineering files to run on the latest kernels. It's only recently that the newer tools acquired the ability to control older controllers. According to a recent post from a 3ware employee on linux-ide-arrays, a proper release is expected in February. Obviously the best solution is that they just give us the source to these tools so that we can fix them ourselves. Knowing that isn't going to happen I'm happy they're at least giving us something while they catch up with the speed of kernel progress. I can verify the fact that info is busted when the controller is verifying the array; I'll gather some more info and pass this on to 3ware. - J<
