Re: A RAID recommendation

Yeah. I looked at the RAID 6 and while it's interesting, the controller doesn't know anything about it, just 1 or 5.

We've also been quite happy with the Dell servers. Our first was a 1300 when the Asylum first started and then we moved to a 2450 and added a 2550, then some 2650s and finally the 2850. I decided to bite the bullet and reconfigure the new one. That was fun! Remind how much I love UNIX.

So now I've got three of the 300GB drives in RAID 5 with the fouth as a hot swap drive. I haven't messed with the RAID controllers much, this one is an LSI controller, Perc 4 something. Anyway, I selected the hot swap drive when I defined the logical drive, so will the controller know to use it automatically? I'm running FreeBSD, so the OS doesn't know anything about the RAID configuration.
