The world of Hardware RAID is pretty untested. Most use their own controller chips which would require new drivers or changes to existing drivers, depending on the interface they export. > i'm guessing that there may be no raid and/or multiprocessor > support. if this is the case, any hints about how to > configure our machine for disk redundancy would be > appreciated. You can do multiprocessor SMP, but you have to run -current. We can do software RAID striping with the ccd driver.
