Hello world,

I'm a clueless FreeBSD newbie with some linux experience.

I have to set up a large RAID for a somewhat big mail/http server for
an ISP (~500GB, "internet free mail"), and my company was looking into
raidzone, that is, a RAID made of inexpensive IDE drives with a custom
PCI controller.

Raidzone supports linux and NT only, and it looks like they don't give
away the driver source code, so it can't easily be ported to *BSD. Do
you know of any similar products that support *BSD? Should I get a
clue and push for real SCSI? Should I use a hardware RAID controller,
or vinum? Are there any known "strange" interactions between vinum,
quotas and softupdates?

Any help is really welcome.

bye,
  Jimmy
