Hi All,

We have a new box with 4 200GiG IDE disks, we wish to set it up using
software raid, and I'm aware there are many options, from vimum, gvinum,
various other geom classes...

What is the best option looking to the future, that is usable for now?

We are looking for data safety over speed.


Thanks!
