Strip a single RAID 5 set across channels to speed up the SCSI backend. Then slice it up using disklabel. That should do the trick.

Hi,

I have one megaraid i4, but with two channels set up. One raid1 for the OS,
and one raid5 with 4x250G hard drives.  Currently, my 3 options are:

1) use the older motherboard, P3-450Mhz with 3.8-release which supports
both channels.

2) use the newer motherboard, P3-1.4Ghz, with 3.8-stable or - current, but
only one channel.  Need to acquire another i4, obviously.

3)  use 3.7 with the newer motherboard, P3-1.4Ghz which supports both
channels.

Any recommendations of one over the other? And your source for cheap i4
still open? :)
