We are planning to use RAID for backing-up MySQL-data.
Is it adviced that we put the OS on the RAID-array too, or just the data ?
Let's say your OS crashes (Linux...bad libraries for example, that are not resolvable,
for example :>), then you'll have to format all your disks including your data to
replace the OS.
Ont he other hand, if the disk that contains your OS crashes, you still have a lot of
downtime (well, depends on backup-disk, time it occurs, etc).
Anyone a good suggestion ? Or is it even possible to have your OS separate from the
data, buth both mirrored (eg. 2 different raid-arrays)
