AMD RAID support?

2018-10-04 Thread Zaphod Beeblebrox
Are there any plans to support AMD RAID? AMD RAID is _like_ Intel RAID, but has a number of differences. One is that it requires UEFI (without UEFI it does not boot, at least). It comes on/with AMD motherboards for Zen and Threadripper processors. It also only supports RAID 0/1/10, that is: no

As someone who controls both ends of the link (runs the ISP, has service from the ISP), so far (a bit out of laziness) I have the following solution... Now... of note is that we statically assign addresses. This is not just being nice, but being practical. We deal out IPv4 addresses vi IPCP, but

I'm converting some Xen/Debian/Windows domain servers to FreeBSD/Bhyve/Samba domain servers. Windows is still required for a couple of applications, but I've recently had enough success with Samba4 to try this. Not the problem. The machines have two disks (was RAID-1 before, will be RAID-1 after)
