Hi
it has been suggested to me that I configure a server to use software
RAID 1, with two IDE drives, to provide a measure of redundancy. I'm
dubious.
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of arrangement:
specifically with the RAID performance and the impact on the server?
Yes, this

now i'd have to say I don't know the answer to that. Porably by getting
rid of exchange server??
*brain-throb*
Okay - My system here is the firewall portforwards connections on port
25 to a linux box running exim. The linux box then sends the mail to
the exchange server via smtp.

Although that is a step in the right direction, why not go to raid 5,
whereas data lost from a stripe set without parity (Raid 1) is
unrecoverable, unless of course more than one disk in the array fails.
You also need at least 3 HDD for Raid 5, but an extra HDD is a very
minimal cost.
Sorry, ammendment needed... I lost my sentence half way through...

Yep - thats one thing I'd love to do.
But it is apparently impossible to save all the stored crap that all
the user accounts have built up. The exchange server is a PIII 450 with
300something Mb ram and a 6 Gb IDE drive, so it would make a fine linux
box too.

No matter what variant of RAID you use, I've always seen that the I is

Look in the kernel source then find a board that has a supported chipset
on it.
Promise Fasttrak RAID and Highpoint370 RAID are supported by 2.4.18,
dunno about 2.5

As with scsi raid arrays, its not the cost of the card thats the
problem, its the cost of N matching drives.
I'd imagine that four matching 100Gb drives would be a reasonable start,
and thats $2000 worth :-\

I was more thinking in terms of them doing a hardware
solution cheaply, they obviously have the drives all
ready if they are contemplating software raid, so for
another $80 they can have a hardware raid card and
much better performance (i imagine :-)
