I had been using a 6100 for 2x2 mirror pairs for years, and now use it as a plain 4-channel disk controller with software RAID. Discovered the hard way that the 3ware mirrors CAN NOT be separated or with out the controller due to embedded controller info. Much better performer than that Promise Ultra/Crap.
3ware Storage Controller device driver for Linux v1.02.00.027
scsi1 : Found a 3ware Storage Controller at 0xdc01, IRQ: 15, P-chip: 5.7
Network Appliance OS 'Data OnTap' has been storing FS metadata/data in battery backed NVRAM for many years.
Disclosure/SEC: former employee, individual and/or family members may hold NTAP stock.
"The Mythical Man-Month - Essays on Software Engineering" [Fred Brooks] describes in little more than 1/4" of paperback why it is impossible to exchange bodies for time in large development projects. My copy says Second Printing, July 1978, but it's still on amazon.
Give it to your boss as a present and look for different work.
