Software RAID on OpenBSD using RAIDframe</a>, NewsForge, March 14, 2006 |
|
</strong></font><br> |
|
"Software RAID provides an easy way to add redundancy or speed up a system |
|
without spending lots of money on a RAID adapter." |
|
Manolis Tzanidakis talks us through setting up RAID using OpenBSD. |
|
He describes the detailed steps, and recommends careful testing |
|
before putting the system into production, including taking one disk |
|
out of service and ensuring that it gets reloaded correctly. |
|
Ends with a technique for monitoring clean operation on an ongoing basis. |
