huh! please read the manpage again. it doesn't talk anything about generic raid driver but a pciide (not sata raid) controller driver. and yes pciide driver adds driver support to some controllers. see pciide(4) again. > but from http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html, (Non-options section > of it 14.13) says there that OpenBSD doesn't use the FakeRAID's > built-in RAID functionality at all. It just uses the standard (or > should I say generic) software RAID driver. maybe you should also read ami(4) man page and that faq again. there are certain what you called fakeraid (sata raid) that are very well supported by openbsd (e.g. ami). and that software raid support you have just said IS NOT INCLUDED on the base (GENERIC) kernel. again, i stand on what i've said before - if its half-baked driver then 1.) disable it from the base kernel, or 2.) remove it. cheers! _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
