Can anybody recommend cheap IDE mirroring PCI (2.0, not 2.1 or 2.2)
controller with just 2 IDE ports which works fine with FreeBSD
4.10 ?
It is to be installed on a very old motherboard (1998) and two 40GB
IDE driver (more or less modern ones, at least not used ones for
sure).
sorry I don't know of any really cheap one's off hand, altho I do
have experience with 3Ware RAID cards on 4.x. They seemed to work
well, and they are less expensive than proper SCSI cards...altho
slower. If cost really an issue would it be worth mirroring your
disks in software via VINUM?
Well, i don't trust software raids. But 3ware is probably one of the
most expensive raid 0,1 controllers. There must be something around
40$ which freebsd supports. Does anyone known any model?
I'm currently using an Adaptec 1200A on
FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #1: Fri Feb 4 02:43:22 GMT 2005
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ZOIDBERG
and it works without any problems. I'm using it in RAID1 mode and it
seems to be nice and fast. It's happy booting and running even with
one
of the pair removed, and is happy with rebuilding afterwards.
Although,
to be honest once this machine has booted it mainly only uses the
disks
for logging, so I'm not putting significant load in the controller.
atapci0: <HighPoint HPT370 UDMA100 controller> port
HighPoint HPT370 ? So this Adaptec 1200A is actually
HPT370? I see you use it on 5.3-STABLE. Are the drivers built in or
you downloaded them from the vendor's site?
