Subject: I'm about ready to do SW-Raid5 - pointers needed
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2003 18:42:04 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F9DAD4C.3000002@verizon.net> (raw)
The purpose of my going to raid is to ensure, short of a total
meltdown/fire, etc, data loss prevention. If my house and business
burn, I'm hosed anyway.
I am buying 4 maxtor 40 gb/200mb ultra 133 drives, and another promise
board, to finally do swraid5 (after reading this list for a few months,
it seems pretty scary in failure).
is there an advantage to >more< than 1 spare drive? .. more than 3
drives in mdx? why not cp old boot/root/whatever drive to mdx after
booting on floppy?
is there an advantage to having various mdx's allocated to various
/directories?..ie: /home, var, /etc
looking for meaningful help pls. not flamage.
b-
