  OpenBSD has had the RAIDframe driver for a long time. This releases is adding some sort of RAID 4 and 5 implementation.

    raidframe is kinda unsupported, this is legacy stuff with code that hasn't been touched for a looong time.
    softraid is the new shiny software raid solution on OpenBSD.
    softraid supports raid 0,1,4,5 and crypto.
    it is still work in progress, but with 4.6 you get rebuild for raid1 so it is usable in production.

      It's true, but the OpenBSD FAQ only lists RAIDFRAME and not softraid. I suspect that will change in a release or two.
