I'd prefer FreeBSD as I have a little more experience with it. The problem I have is this. They have somewhat of an odd configuration. In their current setup (with unixware 7.1), these two machines "share" a raid unit. The raid controller is a smart card, which I see from the hcl is supported. My question is, is it possible to set two installs of freebsd up so that they can share the same raid disk? They are to be part of a crazy database cluster. If so, is there documentation on this? If this should be posted to -hardware, or -scsi (or any other list), please let me know. Thanks for your help. -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
