Hi,

I'd like to use Raid 5 under NetBSD-1.5.3 for increased performance and
fault tollerance.  I'm looking at getting the Adaptec 2110S and using 3
internal 36GB drives.  However, I've had some trouble determing EXACTLY
what RAID hardware is supported by NetBSD.  The 1.5.3 release notes don't
mention ANY Adaptec cards in the "RAID Controllers" section (unless
they're included in "DPT SCSI Raid boards").  The aac driver manpage
doesn't mention the 2110S (although it does mention a 2120S - but I can't
find any mention of that card on the Adaptect site).  I'm thinking that
the dpti driver might support it, but I can't find any mention of "2110"
in any of the i20 source code.

So, can anyone provide me with their experiences using hardware RAID under
NetBSD?  I have to travel to another city to do this job, and it would be
disasterous to find out when I get there that the RAID card they ordered
for me won't work well in NetBSD.

I'd also be willing to try RaidFrame instead of a hardware RAID controller
as long as the performance wasn't too bad and swapping a bad drive isn't
too hard.

Also, please let me know if there is somewhere I could have looked to find
this information on my own.

Thanks,
	Rick
