I have an old NT4 PIII here that has a pair Adaptec Array1000 Family controllers with 2 pairs of identical drives on one of them (2 IBM 9GB and 2 Seagate 35GB). From what I googled, *nix does not support the controller, so I have removed the RAID arrays and loaded FreeBSD 6.0 onto the two IBM drives. Now, I wanted to mirror the other two for data and looking for guidance as to whether it is first of all suited for software RAID and if so, CCD or vinum. I am contemplating vinum because the handbook mentions CCD is when cost is the important factor and for me, is reliability. What would someone suggest? If vinum, one thing I don't quite understand is do I create the partitions to be used in the device? There doesn't seem to be a man for gvinum and the link to it in the handbook section 19.6.1 is broken. Thanks in advance. -- Robert
