Ok, this might be an option generally but honestly not for me ;) Considering the money I've spent 3 years ago for buying the RAID controller and considering the load it takes from the system handling the RAID I think it is in the best interest for the system to keep the RAID-5 3ware internally. As you might have seen the system is not the fastest one with not that much of memory - so whatever load I can delegate I'm try to delegate off the CPUs. Today I would probably not spend the money buying a RAID controller again but use indeed ZFS instead. But back the time there was only (g)vinum - and I never liked it. -- Oliver Lehmann http://www.pofo.de/ http://wishlist.ans-netz.de/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-performance To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
