Then yo can survive that 3 disks crash! If you want the extra performance, then I think you should not bother too much for the kernel and initrd load time - which of cause is not striping on the disks, but some performance improvement can be expected. Then you can have the rest of /root on a raid10,f2 with 4 disks. best regards keld - 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
