Hi!
I am asking for recommendation. I'd like to use two SATA disks as
RAID1 - mirror. My MB uses NVidia MCP6100 with hardware RAID.
Is it better to use this RAID or to build a new one using GEOM?
If I accidentally replace the MB will it be easy to reconfigure GEOM
(for hardware RAID I know it is not if the chipset / SATA BIOS is not
the same).
Usually this "hardware" RAID, is nothing more than software in a cheap
circuit. The price of these mobos does not justify a real hardware RAID.
I would go with GEOM.
And one more: Is network chip Realtek RTL8201 supported on FreeBSD? I
didn't find it in rl or re drivers, some article says it is supported
by nve or nfe ?!?
Thanks in advance,
Ivo
I believe you have an Nvidia card with a realtek phy. This works with
the nfe driver (the following is from a MCP6100 mobo I am using as a
server at a client):
nfe0: port 0xe480-0xe487 mem
0xdfff9000-0xdfff9fff irq 23 at device 7.0 on pci0
miibus0: on nfe0
rlphy0: on miibus0
rlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
