I have a Mylex Acceleraid 250 controller and I'd like to use it to build some reliability into a mail/web/ftp server. i'd like to put the system disk under some RAID configuration. is the best setup RAID 0+1? if so, how many drives does this require with this particular Mylex controller? i've heard mentioned that this controller can do 0+1 with 2 drives, but I don't see how that would work. i'm under the assumtion that i need 3 drives. i suppose i'll put them into a hot-swappable rackmount enclosure, probably with an Abit KA7/Athlon setup i already have. also, how do i know when a drive fails? will something useful pop up in the syslog which tells me which drive to replace? ---Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
