There is disk striping code, in the ccd driver, which works just fine under NetBSD/i386 as well as under the other ports, and might even work under FreeBSD; I see no reason why the driver would work with interleave=0 but not with other interleave values! >The Compaq RAID SCSI controller is a full on RAID implementation, >and is probably the best soloution.
