Sandford) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Disk Striping/RAID on FreeBSD Date: 15 Nov 1995 17:58:18 GMT Organization: Paradise Green Technical Services Lines: 14 Message-ID: <48d9nq$35p@prds-grn.demon.co.uk> NNTP-Posting-Host: localhost.demon.co.uk X-NNTP-Posting-Host: prds-grn.demon.co.uk X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Someone started a thread on RAID/disk striping a few weeks back. It has expired on my system, and I am now interested in this information. Can anyone give me any information on whether either RAID or striping is achievable under FreeBSD, and if so how (ISTR something about a NetBSD driver or some such). Also are any of the RAID SCSI controllers supported yet (DPT, AMI, Adaptec 3985 etc). Also, if anyone has actually tried any of this, what sort of data (write) rates are achievable (to *raw* RAID/striped device). -- Thomas Sandford | t.d.g.sandford@prds-grn.demon.co.uk
