Hello Freebsders,
I've been using FreeBSD over the last 6 years (since I switched from NetBSD) to run a small ISP out of my basement.
I've had about six disk crashes in as many years and still don't know how to work reliably with them.
"man vinum"
software mirroring == good.
The question should be, "How much you want to spend?" Depending on how you answer that question, you could choose either software or hardware RAID. I've always had better luck with hardware RAID cards compared to software RAID's. ALthough vinum sounds like a great package, I have little experience with it...only ccd, which is why I went with a hardware solution.
If you got money, get a RAID controller (supported by FreeBSD). Then you don't have the root limitation that comes with vinum.
If you don't have money, use vinum. Either way, use RAID.
Best of luck.
