I have looked into and tried FreeBSD 6.0 Vinum and GEOM RAID in our PIII SCSI 80-pin server with the help of several here on the list. I'm pretty much going to use GEOM RAID-1 for the system disks using Ralf's doc. I have room for 3 more disks. Would you recommend using Vinum RAID-5 on three 73GB drives or using GEOM RAID-1 again on 2 147GB drives? If there is no big reason to use either over the other, we've decided to go for the most space and RAID-5. But the amount of space we would be gaining is probably less than 50GB, correct? Or do you have another solution on our $700 budget. It is a debate here and would like to get experienced insight. Thanks in advance for your time! -- Robert
