	Any reasonably inexpensive RAID solutions for FreeBSD? I know 
American Megatrends has a PCI/Raid controller card but I am not sure if 
it is supported. Personally, a solid RAID controller would be ideal, 
enclosures and such are less important. 

	I am not sure if the software support for live mirroring and hot 
spares is inate to FreeBSD however. 

	It would be a shame to put an NT, Solaris, or Netware NFS server 
and mate it to a FreeBSD machine just for the purpose of file serving.
