David, I currently run a system with Raid 5. I have had one disk drop, however, no data was lost. That is one of the beauties of RAID 5, you have a spare disk that takes over.
I too had heard originally that running MySQL on a RAID 5 was a bad idea (this, after I already had it running...), however, I have not had any problems at all. -- Jason On Thu, 2001-11-29 at 17:34, Lionlike MySQL Email List wrote: > Just one quick question...
