It depends on the access patterns. It's no worse at safeguarding data than RAID-5 and can be better (some, but not all, combinations of multiple disk failures will lead to no data loss, something which would otherwise require RAID-6). It's faster at reads and much faster at random writes. The cost: possibly quite a lot more spinning rust for the amount of available storage. (For me, power-consumption considerations led me to stick with RAID, though I've gone to RAID-6.) -- NULL && (void) -- 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
