I would think RAID6 would have made more sense, possibly with an additional spare if these are large drives (over a few hundred GB?) Or is there an upper limit as to the number of drives that's advisable for any array? If so, then what do people reckon a reasonable limit should be for a RAID6 made up of 2TB drives? -- 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
