Hi all
Slightly nuts question, I know ... but is anyone using software RAID?
Our test rig has only 0, 1 or 10 as an option. And we'd like to use 6,
obviously.
Hmm - for shared storage, or for a single-node disk server? If it's shared
storage, I can imagine challenges with ensuring consistency across
multiple servers - there'd presumably be no mirroring of in-flight or
cached information between servers using the shared storage.
If it's just one server connected to the disks you'd dodge that - though
you'd want to be sure about consistency of data on disk in the event of a
sudden server failure (power cut, etc). If you give it a go, I'd be
interested to see how you get on with it.
TIA
