I'm having a fiddle with RELENG_6 and while setting up a RAID1 system disk I noticed that atacontrol now lets you create a RAID5 device. I gave it a whirl and it seemed to work - I have a device I can "use". But is this working properly? I don't have a hardware raid card, just a plain old SATA card. Having searched the archives I noticed that Søren said it wasn't handling parity. Maybe this was fixed? Anyway - the bottom line is this. Can I create an entirely software RAID5 setup using ataraid? I'm personally not finding gvinum to be that polished... Cheers, Tim. -- Tim Bishop http://www.bishnet.net/tim/ PGP Key: 0x5AE7D984Received on Tue Jul 12 2005 - 15:36:34 UTC
