I want to set up an OBSD box as a file server for some Windoze boxes. I think a RAID 1 setup will provide sufficient reliability - and it appears to be the cheapest way to go.
I don't desire to become an expert on RAID, I don't want to spend a lot of money, and I'm confused by what I've read on the subject. Here's how I'd like it to work: One of the disks craps out... an alarm goes off... I walk in with a new drive, and replace the failed one (hot-swap?)... beeping stops... no data is lost, system "heals" itself by taking care of the new drive... years pass, and life is good. Is this feasible - can I remain ignorant of the RAID details and jargon, and still benefit from it? Thanks, Jay
