OpenSuSe has software raid as an option when formatting a disk

I prefer the Adaptec RAID controllers because they have a web interface for
admin and checking and since /usr/vice and /usr/afs are on the raid system I
just move the controller and drives to a new motherboard

Currently our AFS servers are on Linux and XFS. We were thinking of<br>
moving to OpenSolaris or Solaris and ZFS. But as things are now, these<br>
options either have a very unsecure future or a very hefty pricetag.<br>
For us, the name change of the company did result in a doubling of<br>
prices, something that we did not pay but took another solution. I am<br>
still searching for a good software raid solution. Any experiences<br>
with ZFS on FreeBSD out there? Other suggestions?<br>
