you will. The question is, how likely will you lose data and uptime and how much are you willing to spend to avoid those risks. RAID1 leaves all your data on two disks in a really simple recoverable way. > We have 4 identical SATA 320 GB Hard disks and we were thinking of > using Linux softw

Does anyone know any of any disadvantages with raid 10? We have 4 identical SATA 320 GB Hard disks and we were thinking of using Linux software RAID 10. We actually did it on a trial system and it seemed to work fine. We just created 2 raid 1 devices initially and installed edubuntu 7.04 on one of

now what to do. Software Raid 10 in linux is rather new, and so probably isn't well documented. Personally, I've never used RAID 10, all my servers use RAID 1, and if they have lots of disks, RAID 5. (Often system on RAID1, data on RAID5) And they use LVM on top of that. The debian installer
