IMHO mirror is a nice to have and if you combine this with rsync to backup in case of any changes, then even better. > Since it's been mentioned, what SATA RAID controller cards are > recommended for OpenBSD on i386? I wonder if they would fit my budget. Not in SATA RAID business, rather prefer simple HBA + softraid/ZFS (not on OpenBSD) and since I'm using only SR-RAID1, then board's number of SATA connectors is usually good enough. But using i386/openbsd on AMD E2-3200 is IMHO pure waste of precious CPU resources you do have at your disposal. I'd recommend to go with amd64/openbsd on this. > Has the "supported hardware" page been removed from the openbsd.org I would start with man mpi/mpii/ami or so... Karel
