Hi, We are in the process of setting up a large NFS server and we are looking for a reliable disk system to be used by the OS. (The data will be placed on some large Storagetek raids). We have a bunch of 2BGyte SCSI disks that we plan to use for this purpose. My question is: Which SCSI RAID controller should we use? We would prefer RAID 1 with hotspare drives or a RAID 5 solution. The controller should be well supported under FreeBSD. We have used 3Ware controllers in the past but we have had some problems with some of them - one nice feature of them is the ability to remotely control them via a web interface and the controller is able to send out emails if it detects problems with the raid. A similar solution and features would be preferred but it's not essential. Any suggestions for a good RAID SCSI controller is appreciated :) Regards and have a nice weekend all -- Lasse Laursen <laursen@netgroup.dk> - Systems Developer NetGroup A/S, St. Kongensgade 40H, DK-1264 København K, Denmark Phone: +45 3370 1526 - Fax: +45 3313 0066 - Web: www.netgroup.dk - We don't surf the net, we make the waves.
