What are the other options, LVM? I cannot get the solution with natacontrol to work according to the wiki guide; does not find any channels/devices to use it on (my disks are identified as /dev/da*).
I know, but hardware RAID controllers are quite expensive. However, if I find something interesting at the second hand market I will go for it. Okey, I already have a SSD installed for swapcache, so it will improve the throughput that much? /Joel On 26 feb 2013, at 21:14, Samuel J.
