Is port multiplier supported in FreeBSD 7.2 RELENG?


No, it is only supported in 8-CURRENT now.


I want to build a cheap storage for backup, with SiI3124 card (or
another cheap card with PCI/PCI-X).
Not so much cards are supporting FIS Based Switching technology (and none of FreeBSD SATA drivers at this moment) needed to operate drives beyond PM in parallel. So you will not obtain any performance benefit from having several drives connected to the same controller channel, just an additional capacity.
