Hi there,
I am currently setting up a server that will house my backups (simply
using rsync).
This system has 4 X 500 gb drives and I am looking to raid for max
drive space and data safety. Performance is not so much a concern.
My experience with software raids in nil, so some of these may seem
like pretty dumb questions.
I was thinking a raid 1 is probably sufficient.
Would it be best to raid 1 two drives each and LVM them together?
My next question would be about how to do this as I have never done a
linux software raid.

Linux software raid works fine and I use this recipe
http://linux-raid.osdl.org/index.php/Partitioning_RAID_/_LVM_on_RAID
If you can afford a proper hardware raid controller for raid 6, that
would be of better performance than linux software raid, other than that
I have found performance of linux based md using raid 1 to work fine.
