Is anyone looking at supporting RAID 5 in FreeBSD (w/o a hardware RAID controller)? The ccd driver's RAID 0 doesn't provide all the desired functionality. The reason I bring this up now is that I was poking around the NetBSD web pages tonight and I noticed that they've had it in their -CURRENT for over a month, using the CMU RAIDframe code. (Yes, it's only a month.) http://www.cs.usask.ca/staff/oster/raid.html How hard would it be for someone to port it to FreeBSD? (It is integrated at the vnode layer; I'm not familiar with the differences we have there, but we do use a similar vnode driver and ccd driver). Is someone already working on this? Or maybe someone will volunteer now? Kevin Van Maren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
