BSDNow Episode 036: Let's Get RAID

Contributed by tbert on from the still-not-a-backup-solution dept.

BSDNow Episode 36 is out, with the titular segment featuring RAID setups on both FreeBSD and OpenBSD.

In OpenBSD content, the episode covers the release of 5.5, the recent work to unhitch OpenSSH from OpenSSL, and incestuously links back to jasper@'s m2k14 report.

It also features an overview of the April issue of BSDMag, an interview with FreeBSD developer David Chisnall, using FreeBSD in the cloud, a new episode of BSDTalk, and a weekly update from PCBSD.

    Until softraid gets support for 4k sector disks it's unusable on most of my hardware.

      Well then...Why don't you try and fix the problem?

      If you got 4K from WD then the problem does not come from OpenBSD.

      I switched to Seagate for my NAS and it works very well.

        I think so.

        No. See "CAVEATS" in man page "bioctl" of OpenBSD.

        "Only devices with 512-byte sectors are supported."

        It is a topic about softraid of OpenBSD not NAS.
