Or use syncrepl and make it redundant.

softraid(4) in production environment

[Jordi Espasa Clofent]

Hi all,

As post subject says, it's a clear question ?Is it softraid(4) ready for
a production system?
I have to build a authentication (with OpenLDAP) system and I want to do
it with OpenBSD; I absolutely tust on Marco's good job, but I must to
know if softraid(4) is ready for a real and critical production system.

I've used softraid(4) solution in the past without problems, but I think
softraid(4) it's better designed and coded, so the logical way is trust
on it.

If it is that critical wouldn't it be better to have two simple ldap
server and replicate with slurpd.
You know: keep the systems simple. This remember me on the discussions
on having raid in a firewall and the answer is ever use carp and make it
redundant.
So I suggest: use slurpd and make it redundant ;-)

I can only provide anecdotal support.  I've been using it since August
in a proxy-cache for a classroom of 24 dual boot Kubuntu/OS X machines.
 Seems ok.
