We're wondering if it's possible to run the following -- * define 4 pairs of RAID 1 with an 8-port 3ware 9500S card * the OS will see these are four normal drives * use md to configure them into a RAID 6 array Would this work? Would it be better than RAID 15? We're looking for a very high redundancy system. This is on a Debian system running the 2.6 kernel. We're contemplating running EVMS on top.
