recommending RAID6 over RAID5 when doing mdadm --create

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hi,

I believe this has been discussed before, but I would like to bring it up again.

I would like to see mdadm recommend RAID6 over RAID6 when using component drives that are 500GB or larger and ask if the user is really sure about using RAID5, plus a pointer to a webpage on the wiki informing the user about the trouble with RAID5 on large volumes with consumer or prosumer drives.

I am willing to contribute text to the webpage being pointed to.
