Hello everyone, For some reason I need to set up a RAID system which does striping and error-correction. (I guess this is RAID-5) and would like our FreeBSD-box to host it. At the moment we still use 2.1.5 here. My questions are: Does any of the later versions (2.2?) of FreeBSD support RAID-COntrollers like the Adaptec 3985? If so, can we build a RAID5 system based on that controller and FreeBSD? IŽd like FreeBSD to see just a huge disk of some 20 GB and have the controller do the rest incl. error checking and signalling. Does anybody have experience with a setup like that (or has or does know about any other *working* configuration)? Thanks in advance for any hints, Thomas -- Thomas Neuhaus(neuhaus@folkwang.uni-essen.de) Phone (49)-201-4903-333 ICEM Institut fuer Computermusik und elektronische Medien Folkwang-Hochschule Essen, Klemensborn 39, D-49239 Essen -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
