Had though of setting up several disks as a RAID-5 array, but for some reason one of the disks would keep failing when I tried to build the array. The same disk, however, would format just fine with EXT3, and is quite happy about being put in a RAID-1 array with another disk. Given that strangeness, I'm thinking a better way to go is to pair off my disks into several RAID-1 arrays, and then use LVM to setup striping across all of them to effectively give me a RAID 1+0 setup. Since one pair of disks is a different size than the other pairs, I presumed this would be better than actually creating a RAID-0 across all the RAID-1 arrays. Is that correct? - 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
