What would you like it > to do? Yeah right I was mixing vinum with some other tool I was using on another OS. But one of the points I seriously disliked was the fact that I couldn't mount a single drive out of a RAID1 array on another machine for emergency recovery. With the el cheapo IDE RAID controllers (which are otherwise not of much use...), I could do so. Currently, I'm trying to make up my mind and add either go for Adaptec SCSI RAID (which adds about 1000$ per webserver) or for the 3Ware Escalade series which are said to be among the best solutions for IDE RAID outthere. And given that the 6410 series is available at 120$ in the US, I'll probably go that route (if I can convinve hypermicro.com to ship overseas ;-) Best regards, Gabriel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5i iQEVAwUBPGeFfMZa2WpymlDxAQF9PggAiEQhnhrjKXROxizCWRZjDQhjF77HLmLN +v6JbfWbO1bRQUSjaP9ZhKxbWoDo1XPGYCLJuIqV5YlDuTWTjQSLXQxU0xgCyHdi WHhCbjD0kMQ0LYm4bH2CJ5hFCHpdKfpOXezQaVvBsAKe7u8QNjctNDatFzXR2Hzu 1A3HIfCz30gV5LW30O4/GnsFWxwH2VFMmG+isSsOCk7+5GKWxZESA/Y5k5jHqU5I xeAlGoiMyCZygWZMdrzLSsfFkWfxxaI/qqLObZy9qRYpbJTwX8acsSlTxCLqEu33 4vRVhKrcGaFDITxnuRgXe2fWsn0MiKSuxuZCxHtLOR/6I8FNTKNUiw== =WO6E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
