As far as I remember FreeBSD is still unable to boot from a Vinum RAID level 5 array for example ... So if he wants to run all from a RAID level 5 array he needs a separate intelligent RAID controller. He wants to buy this controller and disks used from eBay not to spend too much money. What do you think are rlatively inexpensive RAID controllers, that are worth to have look at it ... Used he doesn't want to spend more then $ 100 for a controller, I already told him -> no way, but I wanted to know if you have an idea whats currently the most inexpensive RAID controller so that he possibly gets one used for about this price .... Thanks for your kind support Andreas /// -- Andreas Klemm /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ http://www.64bits.de < Powered by FreeBSD > http://www.apsfilter.org/ \ www.FreeBSD.org / http://people.FreeBSD.ORG/~andreas \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
