Hi all,
I am about to re-build one of my boxes with CentOS 4.4 I would like
to set it up as a simple mirrored system.
The box is a 1U server and has 3 SCSI drive bays. I can use 1 drive
as the OS drive and the other 2 for the content (basically websites)
or can just use 2 drives and mirror those.
What would you folks recommend?
You'd have slightly better performance if you put / and swap on the
first drive and make /var a RAID1 with the other two drives. You'll
have better fail-over protection if you use 2 drives with all
partitions mirrored. You'll have to decide which is more important.
Thank you for the recommendation. I really appreciate it. My concern is
mostly for the data to be mirrored. Performance shouldn't be an issue.
But I will think about which way would be best for my situation.
One other thing, I once before tried setting up a mirrored system (was
using the gui CentOS configuration) and wasn't able to figure out the
proper steps to get the mirroring setup.
If there is a web resource on how to do this I would very much
appreciate a pointer to it.
Thanks again!
Dale
