X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2004 22:04:25 -0000 I've been tasked with coming up with an archiving solution for my company for very large datafiles (100+ gigs). With the low price of hard drives, it seems that using some sort of hot swappable Serial ATA Hard drive in an enclosure would be the best & cheapest way to go about doing something like this. Does anyone have any experience using atacontrol to hot swap out serial ata drives in FreeBSD? If so, can you tell me what hardware you've tried/had luck with? Thanks for all your help. -- ________________________________________________________________________ Mike Barrett | "We have veggie bacon, why don't we have mike@daboyz.org | meat fruit?" www.daboyz.org | -- My ex-coworker, Ben ------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
