Re: mdadm - two questions

Hi Kamil, You’d get a bit more space by configuring your 4 drives as a RAID5 array (3TB usable for RAID5, vs 2TB usable for RAID10). The downside of RAID5 is that the RAID10 (or the one LV with two RAID1 PVs — they amount to the same thing for this discussion) can survive loosing two drives at
