Hello, I am using a Gigabyte GA7DXR board with an onboard raid controller Ultra 100 from Promise. Now I would like to connect some old 15 GB disks to this controller. 2 or 4 disks are possible. On the raid I would like to have a mysql database with around 5 GB. The system should operate under linux 2.4. The board is able to run Raid level 0 with 4 or 2 disks and raid level 1 with 2 disks.
It won't be a big problem if the system crashes after a few month. In general my harddisks were running over years without Raid. Is it better to take Raid level 1 or 0 ? If raid level 0, should I use 2 or 4 disks ? Are both raid-levels running stable in the daily usage ? Is the performance an really important point to choose a special raid level ? Should I use ext2, ext3 or an other filesystem ? Many thanks for your tips Matthias Jaekle --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
