RAID support
Hello, Is soft RAID currently a work in progress, I remember some important features were still added release after release recently. Will it be the case for forthcoming 4.8 ? Regards Jean-Frangois

Re: RAID support
Hi, Doing tests, I could not always do properly the kick off of a rebuild. What is exactly the procedure for doing a rebuild with bioctl -R ? In particular I don't understand, when you have say a build with chunks sd0a and sd1a, then remove one chunk, plug a new one, if it doe'nt appear as sd1 but sd2 or whatever, then how do you attach it to the raid device - which is waiting for a sd1a (the offline device) ? Regards
Re: RAID support
Hi, Can we add, remove or change the chunks hard drives, rebuild, without re-constructing the RAID ?

Intel ICH8DO Raid support
I've been looking at buying the Intel DQ965GFEKR motherboard, but I need the onboard RAID (I can't afford to buy a separate raid controller for this setup). From what I can tell it uses the ICH8DO chipset, which doesn't appear to be supported in OBSD currently. Am I mistaken, does it work now? Or, if I am correct, is there any expectation that it will be supported any time soon? Thanks, Tom
3ware hardware raid support?
Hi folks, Are the more recent 3ware raid controllers supported, e.g. the 3Ware 9650SE series? Its not mentioned on the compatibility list or in the current man page, but maybe (hopefully) it is out of date? Regards Harri

Re: Intel ICH8DO Raid support
Jonathan, Thanks for the reply, but I'm not exactly sure I understand. When you say "the disks will show up" - does that mean the individual disks, or the raid volume set? I'm also not sure I understand what you mean by it not being a real hardware RAID controller. Is it like a WinModem, where the driver is doing all the work?

Sun X2100 on board RAID support?
I've got a bunch of Sun 2100 machines. Nice machine that i plan on doing a number of things with. I'd prefer to use OpenBSD on them for firewalls, and other network related tasks. I've got 2 x 250G drives in these machines, and want to mirror them. Under FreeBSD the built in RAID controller (OK semi-software RAID) works, but apparently it does not under OpenBSD. Is this correct? or am I missing something? If it's not supported, are there plans to add support for it? BTW, It's the 3.9 64 bit install set I'm trying to install. If I turn off RAID in the firmware, everything works fine. If I enable it the disks are not detected at all. -- Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.

Areca HW-Raid Support ARC-1224
Hi, i'm currently looking for a openbsd compatible hw-raid solution. i ended up with areca. openbsd lists a number of supported devices. sadly nothing that can be found on the areca website. relevant openbsd supported products seem to be eol. the ARC-1224-8I ist quite intresting for my purpose, but not listed as supported by openbsd, but on the areca website there is sourcecode for a driver... http://www.areca.com.tw/support/s_openbsd/openbsd.htm Anyone tried that yet ? have things changed with license or something ? why do i need this external driver ? any other good (and supported) hw-raid pcie card out there ?

Great to see that support for newer cards is on its way.

LSI cards are typically supported under one of several drivers, I'd start with one of those. The simple cards are supported under mpi and mpii, the RAID5/6 cards are supported under mfi and mfii.
