Dell Perc3 raid cards

2003-07-01 Thread Matthew Bettinger
Hello,

 We are looking for a dell box to run a small (MySQL) database on and 
was curious as to how well the raid card support is in these newer 
machines.  A box that would meet our needs would be something along the 
lines of a power edge 1650.  These come with  PERC3-DI,128MB Battery 
Backed Cache RAID cards.  Does anyone have an experience using these 
cards with bsd and,  actually replacing a disk (raid 5) using the raid 
utilis that come with the 4.8 branch of BSD ?

Regards,

Howdie,

We are running 4.8-Stable on 2650's and are very happy.
Replacement disks for failed drives are automatically configured and added to
whatever raid you are running.
