I had the completely opposite experience. I bought a new desktop and wanted to use the onboard SATA RAID. 9.0 didn't work out-of-the-box with a RAID-1 volume configured using the BIOS. I knew to kldload geom_raid.ko, but not all new users know to do that. I think the onboard SATA RAID on typical x86 motherboards is something we should be supporting out of the box. I don't disagree that there were some surprising side effects from enabling GEOM_RAID, but I think your viewpoint is very much one-sided. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
