Of course I did search the lists and web before posting to the list, but
I was unable to clear up a few different things.
If I purchase, for example, an LSI/Symbios MegaRAID 150-4, supported by
the ami(4) driver, will I be able to use bioctl(8) to manage the array
without rebooting the machine?
By managing, I mean from controlling audible alarms to rebuilding or
creating arrays.
If someone can point me to something more specific, or recommend a
specific piece of hard to use, I will be thrilled!
Many thanks!

Greetings misc@,
I am currently building a mail server and would like to utilize
OpenBSD with a SATA RAID setup. We need preferably a multi-channel
controller, to do two mirrored arrays (both 2x160GB). If we must, we
can use two single-channel controllers.
The ability to rebuild a damaged or corrupted array while leaving the
system up is imperative.
Which hardware would you recommend for OpenBSD? (Or, less
specifically, which drives are most mature for RAID controllers on
OpenBSD). What utilities will I use for rebuilding the array, or is
this something that must come from the manufacturer?
Input is to read the archives... this has been discussed in great
length. Almost to the point where it isn't even fun to say, read the
archives ;-).
