So..., you're saying that if I want to learn to use RAID, I should use
Windows?
I've been doing research on RAID for the past week, and none of the
documentation I've found addresses my issues.
No no, not at all. Have you tried running through a guide? A quick
search will give you something like this
http://www.howtoforge.com/software-raid1-grub-boot-debian-etch Running
through guides is a good start to give you a feel of what's going on
and how to do it, from there you can explore other ideas, ones that
maybe better suited to you and your setup. Also you can see how you
can recover. It's always best to test you actually know how to
recoverer from raid failures rather then just think you know to find
out that you where incorrect.
finding out what hardware and software raid is only needs a wikipedia
search for example, and as to use soft or hardware raid, have a search
at the archives or just debates on the internet. Just remember that if
you use hardware raid and your controller fails you will need to
replace that. Can you use any controller or does it have to the exact
same one? If it needs to be the exact same one and it's built in to
the motherboard, what do you do? These are the questions you need
answers to. Setting up software raid in Linux is very easy and you can
do it at install. Tools like mdstat and mdadm etc will help you out
As mentioned, none of the research I've done (including the Wikipedia
article specifically addressing my hardware) has addressed my specific
issues. But Bob and Camaleón have provided the extra "umph" I've needed
to get over my first hurdle.
Thanks!
