Hello all :-) I think about a low cost raid 6 hardware (6 disks): On the motherboard 3 pci controllers (sil3114 http://www.siliconimage.com/products/product.aspx?pid=28) cost for each about 10/15euro and 2 disks by controllers So I've 6 disks (raid 6 with mdadm) and if a controller breaks raid 6 should be clean. Is it a acceptable situation or I don't consider other unexpected? PS: my lan doesn't need a high performance. thanks Pol -- 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
