Re: 3ware Raid controllers and 64bit Etch

The machines are using a 3ware 64 bit PCI Raid controller - with 2 (or 4 can't remember exactly).
They are in a 32bit PCI slot and the disks are SATA and mirrored (2 disks)
Unfortunately I don't know exactly which controller as I do not have physical access to the machines.
(The machines are supplied by a hosting provider) - Is there anyway to find out exactly which cards they
are from the OS?

Cheers

Andrew
