This is correct. > Any idea on when/if the IDE raid for FreeBSD 4.x will be resolved to avoid this > lockup problem? (really another thread) I asked for it (check the archive for that *g*), and the reply was sth like "use hardware for that". I think this features won't be available in near future. > Assume that the onboard SCSI320 interface in the 103 can/will support RAID 1 in > FBSD4.x configuration? No. Just a "simple" Adaptec SCSI-Controller. But I have in mind that Katrina (from Gigabyte) told about an addon-Module from Adaptec to perform HW-Raid. Not sure about. The mainboard-specs are still changing from one week to the next. > Dial question about construction... assuming we can pick these up > barebones and insert our own CPU/Mem/HDD into the barebones solution > without much problem? Any pitfalls with that? This is a way to go. This is the way I got the system up, as far as the engineering samples are "empty" barebones, without cpu, ram, hdd. > Thanks for the feedback, and would love to hear your impression of the 103 > performance when you do get ahold of it. It hopefully will perform as I dream of *g*. If there's no Raid-Plugin available, I'll check it with a Raid Adapter - 3 Hotswap SCSI HDD's have to be used this way ;) > Dave Cu, Oliver -- -- http://www.nextra.de - INTERNET@WORK ----- oliver.blasnik@nextra.de -- Nextra Deutschland | Oliver Blasnik Senior System Administrator GmbH & Co KG | Lyoner Strasse 26 D-60528 Frankfurt Engineering TA&S | tel +49-69-66441-0 fax +49-69-66441-199 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
