Because of this, it's fairly hard to order a major brand (HP, Dell, etc) server without raid cards. Raid cards do have the performance boost of nonvolatile write back cache. Newer/better cards use supercap flash for this, so battery life is no longer an issue That said, make my Unix boxes zfs or mdraid+xfs on jbod for all the reasons previously given. > _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
