I'd also be interested to hear what Stan and other experienced
large-array people think of RAID60. For example, elsewhere in this
thread Stan suggested using a 40-drive RAID-10 (i.e. a 20-way RAID-0
stripe over RAID-1 pairs), and I wondered how a 40-drive RAID-60 (i.e. a
10-way RAID-0 stripe over 4-way RAID-6 arrays) would perform, both in
normal and degraded situations, and whether it might be preferable since
it would avoid the single-disk-failure issue that the RAID-1 mirrors
potentially expose. My guess is that it ought to have similar random
read performance and about half the random write performance, which
might be a trade-off worth making.
Cheers,
John.
