Subject: RAID 16?
Date: Wed, 01 Feb 2006 21:59:07 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43E19FAB.4000603@cogweb.net> (raw)


We're wondering if it's possible to run the following --

  * define 4 pairs of RAID 1 with an 8-port 3ware 9500S card
  * the OS will see these are four normal drives
  * use md to configure them into a RAID 6 array

Would this work? Would it be better than RAID 15? We're looking for a
very high redundancy system.

This is on a Debian system running the 2.6 kernel. We're contemplating
running EVMS on top.

Dave
