Depends how much space you need and the disk performance you're looking for. You have plenty of options, with six disks, assuming your RAID controller supports them and/or with software RAID: 1. One large RAID-5: simplest and best for more 'generic' (fileserver?) usage; note that writes can be a little slow. Makes the best of your disk capacity though. Might be worth leaving one disk unused, as a hot spare; 2. RAID-10: three RAID-1 pairs, across which one does RAID-0 striping. This will be *fast* (since reads could come from all six disks simultaneously) but you lose a lot of capacity. RAID-10 is good for heavy IO, such as databases; 3. Mixture of RAID-1 and RAID-5, for 'system' and 'home' areas (i.e. two-disk RAID-1 and a four-disk RAID-5); and so on. Of course, your choice totally depends on what you actually plan, how much disk IO there will be, how much storage you need, how much failover you believe is important etc. Dave. -- Please don't CC me on list messages! ...

dell poweredge 2400
I am trying to install debian 3.0r1 on a dell poweredge 2400. This has the perc 2/si adaptec aic7880 raid controller installed. I am unable to get this to run. I did try to compile the latest kernel on another machine and boot with those disks however it did not work either. If anybody has any guidance it would be appreciated.
