Is there any performance lost in using a software raid array with only 1 disk? I was wanting to use the mdadm monitoring tools to monitor the machines single disk drive for failures and such. Is there any performance hit for such a setup?
I assume you are talking about RAID1 arrays. No, you won't. Rather, you will get a performance loss if you carve up your disk into more than one partition.
Some machines have RAID some machines dont (for me) and I was thinking about a common setup. Also then if I want in the future I can actually just add the second disk and now I have RAID.
I don't think you can actually build an array with missing disks. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
