Use RAID 5 or 0+1...
I have had the Mirroring vs RAID 5 debate before. You would go with RAID 5 to obtain the fault tolerance.
That was my first choice but I was told I was wrong.
0+1 is RAID + STRIPE, it is (theoretically) faster than RAID 5 but requires 4 disks where RAID 5 only requires 3.
RAID1 is ok but slower on writes.
My suggestion is go RAID 0+1 if you can, or RAID 5 with a spare.

Use RAID 5 or 0+1...I am considering a generic box with a single 2 - 2.6 Gig processor. 2 Gig of RAM and mirrored 200 Gig drives.
Does this config cover the above requirements very well.Yes they can.
Does anybody know if RedHat 9 or Fedora can address 2 Gig of RAM out of the box?
many thanks
