I would consider 4.0, several (three or four) strings of LVD disks and either a Mylex eXtremeRAID 1100 (64MB or more) or an AMI MegaRAID Enterprise 1500. (The 1600 should probably work too, but I haven't seen one yet so I can't be sure.) And definitely softupdates. Note that you can't put more than 8 disks into an array with the Mylex controller (easily), so you'd still want to use ccd or vinum over the top. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
