If you rewind to last October, RAIDFrame worked well. Unfortunately, some kernel interfaces changed in between now and then and RAIDFrame was left behind. I am remis in not fixing it, but please understand that I also have quite a few other responsibilities, and I get paid $0 to work

hi: I figured since raidframe was in FreeBSD, it would be a good chance to try it. I've already used vinum and ccd. I run it in Vmware. I remember seeing that raidframe is still work in progress. Maybe something is wrong with my setup. Or maybe it's broken ATM and I should give it a shot later

started getting a bunch of errors like this: RAIDframe should be considered highly experimental. While it was tested extensively under SMP in FreeBSD 4.x, it received very little testing under SMP in -current. If you have more details on this failure, I'd appreciate it. Scott --- Nov 16 00:04

Is RAIDframe currently usable?

, running a slightly modified GENERIC (added SMP, raidframe and pcm), with INVARIANTS and WITNESS enabled (tried without them too, no success). So, any known issues with RAIDframe? I can supply more detailed info if needed. Cheers, -- Miguel Mendez - [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Public Key
