Re: [vdr] mdadm software raid5 arrays?

I too have only good experiences with md raid5 and have used it for years on my vdr server. It’s not uncommon that I record 7-8 programs simultaneously, including HD channels, and I have never had any problems with that. On the other hand, this is just a VDR/NFS server serving two diskless VDR/XBMC

In general good experience. I don't record much, so I don't worry about speed. There are many web pages about raid5 speed optimizations. The slowdown in raid5 writes mostly happen when a part of a strip (chunk of data) has to be written, so the driver has to read the strip, and write it back. The o

Thanks Alex. I think I've decided to go RAID 1+0 rather than RAID 5 as I'm worried about the write speed. I often record 3 or 4 channels at once and do see some "slow down" on OSD responsiveness during this. What's your experience with RAID5? - Original Message - From: Alex Betis To: V

Simon, Pay attention that /boot can be installed only on a single disk or RAID-1 where every disk can actually work as a stand alone disk. I personally decided to use RAID-5 on 3 disks with RAID-1 on 3xsmall partitions for /boot and RAID-5 on the rest. RAID-5 also allows easier expansion in the f
