RAIDframe

Today I read through
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fre
ebsd-current&m=107377398125007&w=2
I am I right i think this was the result?
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-src/2004
-March/020551.html

Anyway, when looking on
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=raid&s
ektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-current&apropos=1&f
ormat=html 

it seems that RAIDframe is back, in -current. Is it? Or has
it always
been there? Is it working? Haven't found any information
about the
subject on the lists since it was removed.

What are my options if I want to do software RAID5 in
FreeBSD? gvinum?
ccd? Something else? I got 3 disks (each 300GB), and the
porpuse is my
personal fileserver.

I've found that RAID3 (managed by graid3: 
www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=graid3) works as an ok
replacement for 
RAID5. It's easy to set up so you can try it for yourself.

gvinum or one of the hardware assisted/accelerated RAID
adapters.  There
are many to choose from.

I asked about software RAID because I can't afford to buy
any RAID 
hardware, and that let's me choose from about 0 hardware 
assisted/accelerated RAID adapters.

That's why Scott also mentioned gvinum, which is software
that is  
part of FreeBSD

It means that for some reason, the version of the CURRENT
manpages on
the Web site didn't track the removal of the raid(4)
manpage.  See here:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/s
hare/man/man4/Attic/raid.4

This is a Web site glitch, nothing more.  :-p

Actually, it probably just means that sledge still has an
old raid(4) manual
on it, since that is where I got the CURRENT manpages from
the last time I
did the update.
