Hi all,
I'm setting up Fedora in a server with five identical SCSI disks and a hardware RAID controller. I want reliability AND performance, so I understand my options here are either RAID5 or RAID 0/1 (combination of striping and mirroring).
Any advice on how I should set this box up? I know RAID 5 would give me the equivalent of 4 disks and full recoverability -- but how do I go about performing such a recovery operation after a disk failure in Fedora? Or does the Adaptec controller handle this automagically somehow? My ignorance here has me leaning towards striping/mirroring -- simply because I think I understand how recovery works.
If this was your server, how would you set up the five disks?
Thanks in advance, Allan
