Hi, I'm building myself an openbsd-based fileserver, which will initially have three disks with softraid in RAID5 mode.
I've three questions regarding softraid: 1) I intend on using a single-core 1.8Ghz Atom processor I have lying around. Would that limit my performance too much? I'll be using this fileserver mostly for media (movies/series/music) and some ocassional backups. Can anyone share what CPU they've used and their experience? (I'm clarifying my intended usage for the fileserver since I think it's quite relevant to say if the CPU is or isn't enough). 2) How do I add additional volumes to an already created softraid volume? I intend on adding additional disks as necessary. Is it possible? 3) The man pages report RAID5 as experimental. I'm curious, why is this so? Is it just not-very-thoroughly tested, or is there some missing feature? I read on a 2010 presentation that rebuild was not implemented yet, is this still so? Thanks, -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
