I am looking to purchase 3 systems to run FreeBSD in a raid 5
configuration. I read the hardware compatibility list and do not find the
AMD 1500 Raid controllers listed.
But on the FreeBSD Kernel information page I do find a listing for the
MegaRaid.
# RAID controllers
device ida # Compaq Smart RAID
device amr # AMI MegaRAID ****Here is a paste
from the kernal section of the web guide******
device mlx # Mylex DAC960 family
So is this Raid compatable? Has anyone used this configuration?
Here is a quote on the hardware I have at this time. Any input would be
