This should be expanded to talk about the management utilities that are available for FreeBSD (3ware, adaptec?), and the features that they support. This information is necessary so that users get a complete picture of the state of hardware / software RAID, so comparisons can be made with Vinum and CCD, and tradeoffs are made apparent. We should talk about classes of controllers and the functionality they provide, specific hardware notes belong in the , well, hardware notes. ;) >How-To-Repeat: Try to find out which RAID controllers have management utilities for FreeBSD. >Fix: Pester Mike Smith and others about the driver / management functionality, and document it better. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-doc->trhodes Responsible-Changed-By: trhodes Responsible-Changed-When: Tue Aug 13 22:39:40 PDT 2002 Responsible-Changed-Why: Was just given a RAID card to play with.

Without all the correct materials I hope others will follow my lead and add more information. What do you think, Murray?
