Quoting Nigel Metheringham ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > I have to say I am getting less convinced by RAID 1 on systems.
RAID at all for me, actually. I've seen it crumble down to a grinding halt several times (using software raid, mdadm, that is). While it was designed so that a disk could fail without the service being interrupted, in my experience a disk failing will still make the system unusable. Either because the kernel goes haywire trying to adress the non-working device or mdadm making decisions causing the entire set to go offline. Especially mdadm setups where you combine RAID-0 and RAID-1 sets to achieve RAID-10 tend to break when there's problems. Still, recovery is easier as the set can rebuild or data can be retrieved from just one disk from a set...
