This is the wrong approach. You need to approach this list with: 1. This is my workload 2. This is the hardware I currently have (suitable or not) 3. How do I best setup my storage to meet my workload requirements? You're approaching this backwards. -- Stan -- 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
