Lamont .) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: What are options for RAID with FreeBSD? Date: 9 Jan 1997 22:25:37 -0800 Organization: ServNet Internet Services, Seattle, WA Lines: 17 Message-ID: <5b4nd1$erc@itchy.serv.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: itchy.serv.net Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:33847 I'm evaluating RAID systems, and I'd like to know what level of support is currently available for RAID under FreeBSD. I need level 1 at the very least, preferably level 5. (I realize RAID 0 is emulated by CCD.) Specifically, I want to have a running system keep running even if the disk dies and needs to be hot-swapped and rebuilt. Is there any decent controller support in the stable branch? Will there be soon? Any recommendations for external SCSI-2 boxes which look like disks externally? -- Sean T. Lamont, President / Chief NetNerd, Abstract Software, Inc.
