There is a driver for the Compaq RAID SCSI controller. It was offered to the hackers list, but not yet integrated. You will have to look at the hackers list archives on www.freebsd.org to find the offer and take him up on it. > I am not sure if the software support for live mirroring and hot > spares is inate to FreeBSD however. What particular support do you think belongs in FreeBSD to support these functions? These are functions of the rAID subsystem. Unless we were to attempt to implement a software RAID, the hardware should take care of it for you.
