I'm sorry, I don't know the megaraids that much. But the more drives you have in one group the more data has to be accessed in case of a rebuild, with increased potential for another issue while less performance is available. Sometimes people recommend in case of an failure to move the data to a

"With 20 disk of 4TB you have a total capacity of 80TB. If you run all of them as RAID6 then you have a total of 72TB." And that's the point! I'm trying to understand if I can create more RAID6 arrays and how my controller handles disk failures in that case. First I think we need to clarify termin

ok, first if all, thank you for your answer. This is acomplicated task and I cannot found many guides (if you have are welcome). I'm using RAID6 and I have 20 disks of 4TB each. In RAID6 space efficiency is 1-2/n, so a solution for small Virtual Drive could be 4 or 5 disks. If I use 4 disks I will

Hi, I have 2 servers supermicro lsi 2108 with many disks (80TB) and I'm trying to build a SAN with drbd and pacemaker. I'm studying, but I have no experience on large array of disks with drbd and pacemaker, so I have some questions: I'm using MegaRAID Storage Manager to create virtual drives. Each
