I am interested in pariring 2x250G into raid mirror for linux
installation. However I do not want to use entire 250G into mirror.
While I believe
it is technically possible to have couple of partitions in raid 1 and
the rest as plain disk, I am looking for advise as to whether this is
ok? recommened? or not recommened. I am really looking for exper
opinions. I plan to have the following
/dev/hdx and /dev/hdy:
partition1: 8G (ntfs)
partition2: 8G (ntfs)
partition3: 150G (ext3)
partition4: rest (extended)
partition5: 8G (linux raid /root)
partition6: 8G (linux raid /usr)
partition7: 60G (linux raid /home)
I like to combine /dev/hdx5+/dev/hdy5 for /root, /dev/hdx6+/dev/hdy6 for
/usr and /dev/hdx7+/dev/hdy7 for /home in raid mirrors.
I like to keep /dev/hdx3 and /dev/hdy3 as simple plain data area for
audio/video etc that does not need as much fault tolerance.
In fact everything here will be in some CD/DVD, so I won't even backup.
Is this a good plan or am I making fundamental mistake in combining non
raid and raid partitions?
Regards
Ramesh
