Hi,
I have a fedora22 system and would like to build a backup server. I
have four 3TB SATA disks and would like to build a RAID5 array. I
understand rebuild times can be extensive, possibility creating a
scenario where another disk fails during that rebuild time, but I'm
not sure I want to lose the extra space with creating a RAID6 array. I
believe RAID5 also has faster write speeds?

Is a 9TB RAID5 partition too risky in terms of rebuild time?

What's the preferred filesystem for a backup server these days? Should
I use XFS or ext4?

Thanks,
Alex
