Hi all,

I am experimenting with a few OS's for my new hardware. I plan to have a
software RAID5 device for my pgsql data directory.

I have been experimenting with FreeBSD and with Linux, does anyone have any
thoughts on whether vinum RAID devices are better than Linux software RAID?
Or vice versa... Or no difference at all? Any gotchas I should bear in mind?

Thanks for any advice

Adam
