As every part of the array contains it's own metadata, it doesn't matter to md which /dev/sdX a drive is. It might matter a bit for boot-time assembly, but actually that's what UUIDs are for. > > The page is still not really finished, I am still playing with my > server so the documentation must wait. > > > Michael McCallister napsal(a): > >> So with four drives sda, sdb, sdc, and sdd and two controllers C1 and >> C2, should >> I go with >> >> C1: sda, sdb >> C2: sdc, sdd >> >> or >> >> C1: sda, sdc >> C2: sdb, sdd >> >> or some other configuration? >> But I understand yours, Michael. You would like to put those RAID0-pieces of your RAID10 each on a single controller. I believe one must find out what "NEAR" and "FAR" is. I'd understand it as: "NEAR" is the closer disk - yeah.
