Hummm.. this may seem like a really stange question, but I'll throw it out anyway: Would $9,000 paid to a developer here with immediate time avaliable bring FreeBSD 3.x to a state of being able to replace our current use of hardware raid to do Raid-1 mirroring with hot swap automagic rebuild capabilities? (It would need to be production quality code for very serious business, and completed in 3 weeks time.)
