One other thought - don't use RAID5 for anything you really care about. Use RAID6. For a great understanding of why, read the articles on http://blogs.sun.com/relling/ regarding "ZFS Raid Recommendations." FOr the purposes of reliability calculations, RAID-Z is equivalent to RAID5 and RAID-Z2 is equivalent to RAID6. danno -- Dan Pritts, Sr. Systems Engineer Internet2 office: +1-734-352-4953 | mobile: +1-734-834-7224 Internet2 Spring Member Meeting April 26-28, 2010 - Arlington, Virginia http://events.internet2.edu/2010/spring-mm/ _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
