RAID sehr simpel via ZimaOS

Ich habe ja meine beiden "alten" Synlogy-Laufwerke in eine Ugreen-Docking-Station umgesetzt (womit sich das Hochfahren auf wenige Sekunden verkürzt).

Dabei angeschaut, wie ZimaOS das mit dem RAID-Verbund löst. Ausgesprochen einfach - wenige Klicks genügen.

1970s Raid (SC Johnson): Pure Throwback Hype

Remember when bug problems felt like cartoon villains you had to outsmart fast? This vintage TV ad for Raid brought that instant, no-nonsense “spray and take control” energy—straight from the kitchen-floor imagination of the era. If you grew up with roaches, ants, or pests popping up at the worst times, this one will hit right in the nostalgia.

The Pirate Bay Remains Resilient, 20 Years After The Raid

i want to run #freebsd on some old Dell servers with #ZFS in RaidZ1 (three drives). i turned the hardware RAID controller to HBA mode in the #BIOS hoping it would do the sensible thing and just give "raw" disks to the kernel without doing any #RAID virtualisation.

however, FreeBSD appears to use the `mfi` driver for the drives, suggesting to me that the controller is still doing some RAID virtualisation. for some reason, i also can't #UEFI boot into FreeBSD, only BIOS. sometimes i also get "hard error"s from the `mfi` driver.

anyone know a good solution?

i've found that it might be possible to flash the H330 controller with HBA330 IT mode firmware (at which point FreeBSD would hopefully use the `mpr` driver and stop doing RAID virtualisation?) but every guide ive found uses FreeDOS. i have tried this but most of the files needed are only available from random sources on the internet. i went as far as ripping the HBA330 firmware out of a Dell update executable with `binwalk`. however i got stuck at some stupid issue with my PC motherboard (i've been attempting the flashing on another computer). i don't really trust this solution anyways.

Software RAID: Setup, Management, and Administration

Below is a full, detailed, production-ready guide for Software #RAID Setup, Management, Monitoring, and Drive-Failure Recovery.
What is Software RAID?
Software RAID is a method of combining multiple physical drives into a single logical unit using the operating system (not a dedicated hardware controller). It’s commonly implemented with tools like #mdadm on Linux.

Recordings and slides from the RAiD Global Community Meetings (20 May 2026) are now available.

The RAiD Operating Alliance was announced publicly for the first time — a global governance body of ARDC, SURF, SDSC, and the Digital Research Alliance of Canada.

Other highlights: SURF's Netherlands service launching Q3 2026, 605 RAiDs minted in Australia/NZ, and growing US and Canadian pilots.
