jggimi... Thank you for the reply..

I have read much about raidframe and even tried it back in the
3.3 days.. but never got it to work..
Also, did know about softraid that was yet supported on i36 yet..

I should have clarified that the hardware card in the Linux box is
a 3Ware which Theo hasn't much respect for , 3ware uses the
twe(4) driver and the card I have is supported by that driver.

Funny, I actually sent Theo a message (and he responded) about
LSI providing source code for the 3ware/AMCC cards and would
the OpenBSD devs update the twe(4) driver.

Theo's response was "... If they approach us ..."

Also , I use rsync to mirror all my websites to each other which
does provide backup /redundancy, all boxes are at different locations..

I may go ahead and use the RAID card and then do my backups via
rysnc script since I already have that structure in place..

Thank you for the info regarding bioctl(8)...

Was just curious about what others were using..
