Hey everyone, Could someone explain to me the advantages and disadvantages of RAID10 vs RAID0+1 vs RAID1+0 ? I am about to setup a system that needs high disk IO and also redundancy. Doest Linux support RAID10 or just 0+1 and 1+0? I think I read somewhere that RAID10 was not supported (in the kernel). RAID10: http://www.peripheralstorage.com/snap/raid10.html RAID0+1: http://www.peripheralstorage.com/snap/raid0+1.html Also, what is the difference between doing a setup A like this: hda+hdb in RAID0 => md0 hdc+hdd in RAID0 => md1 md0+md1 in RAID1 => md3 == /var and setup B like this: hda+hdb in RAID1 => md0 hdc+hdd in RAID1 => md1 md0+md1 in RAID0 => md3 == /var Which one is better, and why (latency, throughput, etc)? Thanks a lot in advance gikoreno
