Date: Wed, 01 Feb 2006 21:59:07 -0800 Message-ID: <43E19FAB.4000603@cogweb.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org To: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-raid.ids 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
