Hi, Let me introduce myself. I'm newbie in linux and in RAID over linux, I have configured a RAID-0 in a NetBSD 2.0 BOX. so, now let me explain what I'm trying to do, Antecedents/Equipment: I have a Sparc 420 with 4 processors and 4 Gb in RAM, two SCSI SEAGATE internal hard disk with an array of 12 hard disks (Storedge 1000). What we want to have: We installed Debian Linux (I think it is 3.1 with kernel 2.4), and we want to have the following configuration: 1 System Harddisk 1 RAID-1 Mirror Hard Drive 12 Hard drives in RAID-5, 10 working and 2 as spare disks. I have read the setting-up for the raid-5 and 1, but I would like to ask you if I can set-up a combined RAID configuration as mentioned above, since all the examples I found upto now just talk of one RAD configuration, besides this, I would like to ask you that if the configuration I want to have is STRONG enough for the quantity of disk in the box, or if there must be any other considerations to have. I really don't expect you to gave me all the answers, just to aimed me to the right direction would be really appreciated.
