We're setting up 6 servers, each with 24 x 1.5TB drives, the systems will run Debian testing and Gluster 3.x. The SATA RAID card offers RAID5 and RAID6, we're wondering what the optimum setup would be for this configuration. Do we RAID5 the disks, and have GlusterFS use them that way, or do we keep them all 'raw' and have GlusterFS handle the replication (though not 2x as we would have with the RAID options)? Obviously a lot of ways to do this, just wondering what GlusterFS devs and other experienced users would recommend. Thanks P -- http://philcryer.com
