Would you say that the 2.6 Kernel is suitable for storing mission-critical data, then?
Sure. I'd trust 2.6 over 2.4 at this point.
I ask because I have read about a lot of problems with data corruption and oops on this list and the SCSI list. But in most or all cases the 2.4 Kernel does not have the same problem.
I haven't seen any problems like that, including on kernel.org, which is definitely a high demand site.
Who out there has a RAID6 array that they believe is stable and safe? And please give some details about the array. Number of disks, sizes, LVM, FS, SCSI, ATA and anything else you can think of? Also, details about any disk failures and how well recovery went?
The one I have is a 6-disk ATA array (6x250 GB), ext3. Had one disk failure which hasn't been replaced yet; it's successfully running in 1-disk degraded mode.
I'll let other people speak for themselves.
