There is no alternative to RAID. If you have any ideas I would like to here them.
Note that RAID protects you from the failure of one drive. Actually one drive for each RAID array, and you can have many arrays. RAID does not protect you from file system corruption and the like. You still need to back up your data. -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Wicks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 10, 2003 10:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: raid question Greetings; (Posted to LINUX-390 and debian-s390 lists) I came across an unsettling bit of info a while back. I was told that if you lose one volume of a raid set you can replace and the data will get rebuilt, but if you lose a second volume before you get the first one rebuilt you will lose all the data -- irretrievably! Is this true? Is there any reasonable way to get around it? Is there a reasonable alternative to raid? As always, Many TIA! Dennis -- Dennis G.
