OpenBSD CVS RAID Array Failing, Needs Replacement

Posted by timothy on from the three-small-letters dept.

Sam writes "The OpenBSD cvs server has a failing RAID array. Users of the projects on that array: OpenBSD, OpenSSH, OpenBGPD, OpenNTPD, and the upcoming OpenCVS are all invited to contribute towards the $12,500 cost of a suitably high-spec replacement. OpenBSD Journal article, and original request (thread)."

    If Theo had kept his damn mouth shut and not driven away the NSF funding this would not be an issue. But why are they buying from DELL? Shouldn't they support corps that support them?

    We're talking quality here. None of this SATA shit, which is great for the desktop, but not for much else.


    Nope. We are talking stupid oldtimers clinging to a technology long after its time.

    You can buy excellent IDE or SATA based RAID systems with an excternal interface to your liking (both U320 and Fiber Channel). And they cost substantially less $$. Something like 1/3rd or so.
