Just as fair warning, you should not rely on RAID as a 'backup' like you would rely on writing to removable media and storing off-site. If someone cracks your computer and you want to go back to known good snapshot, you're out of luck; if you accidently overwrite something, RAID won't help you. > I'm running 5.3 - what do you recommend - gvinum, ccd, others?

I've been using gmirror for about half a year and have had no problems.
