RAIDframe guide to complicated



        Hello,

while discussing the benefits of RAIDframe and hardware RAID controllers
with a NetBSD users he was mentioning the complexity of setting up RAIDframe.
Reading the official NetBSD guide ...

        http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-rf.html

... I can see what me means. I'm considering to simply it by:

1.) Removing the part about setting a non-RAIDed swap partition for
    kernel crash dumps. That hasn't been necessary since NetBSD 5.0
    and is highly error prone.

2.) I would like to suggest a setup with a single RAIDframe volume
    where the root and swap partition are simply sub partitions of
    e.g. "raid0". I'm using such a setup for years. It works
    well and is easy to configure

Opinions?

        Kind regards
