tors. The RAID will be created of the individual disks named
disk0 ... diskN.
-Dont worry, natacontrol is offering more than the listed spanning RAIDs and mirroring options.

-Looking into the source code on DragonFly's OpenGrok we find more options than the man pages lists:
-
- lynx http://pkgbox64.dragonflybsd.org/source/xref/DragonFly-master/sys/sys/nata.h
-
- struct ata_ioc_raid_config {
- int lun;
- int type;
- #define AR_JBOD 0x0001
- #define AR_SPAN 0x0002
- #define AR_RAID0 0x0004
- #define AR_RAID1 0x0008
- #define AR_RAID01 0x0010
- #define AR_RAID3 0x0020
- #define AR_RAID4 0x0040
- #define AR_RAID5 0x0080
-
-Ah, so we can use more than the man page documents!

-RAID5 is the most versatile RAID, and suitable for normal servers - Home and Office use - but in my opinion too inefficient for a backup space with financial and accounting data.

As I only have 4 1TB disks I think RAID0+1 is the best solution as mentioned above.
