MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" X-Mailer: Kiltdown 0.7 Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org hello! in the near future, i'm going to need to put together a 1U server for running a FreeBSD server system. One of the things I would like it to have a RAID 1 support, set up in such a way that if a disk fails, the system can keep running with the other. Ideally, the fix for a bad disk would simply be to put in another disk and reboot and be back. My main goal is complete duplication of the data, and as simple a replacement as possible. The question is: just what fits in a 1U server -- I'm a little new to these, and don't want to buy a controller that's not going to work when i get the computer. Any suggestions for what I might want to set up here? any recommendations for 1U servers that I might want to consider for maximal FreeBSD compatibility also?? thanks! marc.
