do you think the archives are poo too, or do you plan to read them? I have already read the archives. You keep saying, there is no plan to import it. However you did created a patch for OpenBSD 3.2, so maybe you or someone else could write (for the archives) *why* there isn't any plan to

I want a raid model that acts as if it is a regular scsi drive, ie. sdN. Like our hardware raid controllers work. Right now what we have in the tree is poo, and vinum is just as much poo too. Is there any hope to see the live network backup that NetBSD's developer der Mouse presented at

Is there any hope to see the live network backup that NetBSD's developer der Mouse presented at BSDCan 2005? ( http://www.bsdcan.org/2005/activity.php?id=54 ) I may not be a developer of OpenBSD, but I think that anything Mike Parker says or does should be ignored, just because of the kind of

For one, what if you don't want RAID_AUTOCONFIG? It would save YOU time if we set the options you needed. If not, it would cause more complaints about how could you chose such an option? True Further, it would probably need to be TWO new kernels -- bsd.raid and bsd.raid.rd, as you would
