Maybe a bug in documentation for BIOCTL(8)

2013-03-07 Thread Lars Engblom


Hello,

After reading BIOCTL(8) I found this line:
Use of the CRYPTO  RAID 4/5 disciplines are currently considered 
experimental.


After I have been reading this thread, I realize the documentation is 
probably lagging behind: 
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.misc/192747


Crypto is still mentioned as experimental even though one year ago it 
was considered stable. How is it with RAID5?


I will probably have to install a server to receive backups from another 
backup server. It will need to run RAID5 and accurate manual pages are 
critical for me when I pick the OS. Most of our server are running 
OpenBSD and I hope the RAID5 support is mature for real use.


Regards,
 Lasse
