Hello. What is the cheapest hardware raid 1 mirroring solution for OpenBSD?
The 3ware 7006-2 looks like a perfect card. But OpenBSD doesn't appear to
support it. Or is perhaps the docs out of date? The FreeBSD version of the
3ware driver does support the current offerings. Or are the OpenBSD drivers
behind the other BSD flavors? I heard of some place which makes a little
inline unit offering raid 1. But it looks just like a regular single disk
drive, even to the motherboard. Kinda expensive though at near $300. That
3ware card is only $120. The Adaptec solution is also too expensive. The
lower end (but still true hardware raid 1) Promise controller does not appear
to be supported either.

Thanks!

There is no 3Ware support, but the kernel has 3Ware drivers. We have 5
server with 3Ware 6200 controller (mirror) all working perfekt. Problem:
No alerting because 3Ware 3dmd is only working on Windows / Linux. We
phone the 3Ware support (germany) at least 2 times a week, because
someone said that there will be 3dmd support for openbsd (freebsd emu).
Till now there is only a freebsd cli with should work with the freebsd
emu. Not testet till now by us.
