hi. i recently built a machine using the Mylex AcceleRAID 250 (SCSI RAID 1 using 2 disk) and the Promise FastTrak 100 (DAM100 IDE RAID 0 using 4 disk). i've setup, because i could, a raid 0+1 with the Promise card and it also worked fine, as does using it as just a DAM100 controller. these worked using 4.2R, 4.3R, and 4.3S. the scsi raid is for my boot disk and functioned fine when i tested the functionality by removing a disk. the raid 0 i did not test, for obvious reasons. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.3R/notes.html details all the raid cards that work. -r On Wed, Jul 11, 2001 at 08:06:27AM -0400, Dave said at one point in time: > Looking for first hand experience with successfull implementation of > hardware based RAID solutions for simple mirroring applications. > > - assuming hardware / PCI RAID card > - hardware level so compatibility problems with FreeBSD 4.3 is of > little or no concern > - hot swap without disturbing FreeBSD 4.3 system > - rebuild of mirror after hot swap > - performance > > assuming SCSI solution but would consider IDE if it meets the above > requirements > > again, the biggest concern is not ending up messing with driver or > compatibility issues with exsiting FreeBSD 4.3 installations... our > server setup is perfect, just want to add RAID. > > Appreciate any insight > > Dave > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- echo "send pgp key" | mail ravi@cow.org ; lynx http://cow.org ; echo "!gc" If you mixed vodka with orange juice and milk of magnesia, would you get a Phillip's Screwdriver?
