>Description:

Section 12.7.2 of the Handbook contains 2 sentences of information
about hardware RAID.  This should be expanded to talk about the
management utilities that are available for FreeBSD (3ware, adaptec?),
and the features that they support.  This information is necessary so
that users get a complete picture of the state of hardware / software
RAID, so comparisons can be made with Vinum and CCD, and tradeoffs are
made apparent.

We should talk about classes of controllers and the functionality they
provide, specific hardware notes belong in the , well, hardware
notes. ;)

>How-To-Repeat:

Try to find out which RAID controllers have management utilities for FreeBSD.

>Fix:

Pester Mike Smith and others about the driver / management
functionality, and document it better.
