OK, for the moment we use software mirror via vinum, SCSI RAID controller and especially discs are a bit expensive :) > Yes, it is. I haven't had any time lately to test it, but it's known to > work. BTW, where can I read about configuration of the 'twe' array? E.g., how the discs are seen by the OS? How can I partition them? Can I have different types of RAID on the same array, e.g., half for RAD5 and half for mirror?
