I may have missed this is various docs, but is there any way to make a raid1 array which has 3 (or more) active mirrors, rather than 2 mirrors and spares?
On our machines with software raid, I usually use all available disks to create (small) root filesystem on raid1 - which is 2, 3, 4, 5, or even 8 on one machine. There's no special restriction on number of mirrors in a raid1 set. You create raid1 array on top of N disks exactly the same as you create it on 2 disks. /mjt - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
