I am looking at this solution for a 6*250GB raid5 data server, evolving in a 12*250 rai5 in the months to come... Performance is absolutely not a big issue for me, but I would not appreciate any data loss. Furthermore, I would prefer not to use LVM nor any middle layer between MD and the fs... Is this middle layer *very* usefull when I'm sure my partitions layout will not evolve (e.g. only one enormous fs) ? Thanks for your answerings/advices, F.-E.B.
