Preparing to buy a new server... What is debian's opinion about hardware/software raid?
I have the feeling that software raid 1 is more reliable since if anything goes wrong with the hardware, I could just take one or two disks out of the server and put them into a workstation to get up and running or copy data of the disks for the time until the hardware gets fixed. On the other hand, performance will probably be better with a dedicated hardware raid controller. What are your experiences? Thanks, Johannes NB: we are talking about ibm server sxeries 226, raid controller sata raid 5 vs software raid 1 using mdadm. I would either use 3x250 GB + raid 5 or 4x250 GB + raid 1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
