I'd rather have a >dedicated piece of hardware. I totally agree. I only tried Vinum once and did not loose any data (test system) but it was frustrating. The cost of a 3ware is low enough that I would only consider Vinum if I read that it has become idiot proof to install it. I also expect SCSI raid controllers to start coming down in price to compete with the IDE RAID systems coming out in the market. francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
