If you *read* his message you'll notice that he has 4 drives in the
array and lost 2 of them (2 still active). :)
why do you want to make a two drive raid5? that makes no sense. use raid1.
yes- if there is data already on the drive, running mkraid is a pretty sure
way to destroy the filesystem, since part of the file system will be
overwritten.

The howto says try mkraid --force. With a 2

Hello
I want to use an informix database with an 2.4.test kernel. I want to
set up software RAID and RAW-devicees for the database. Now, my
question: does this configuration stable works? Have anybody some
experiences about this???

What controller did you use for this? Is it with the 3Ware card? (I've

The most awesome thing I had yet, is IDE AND SCSI:
IDE disks (BIG, fast & cheap)
IDE-to-SCSI-bridging adaptor (one per IDE disk)
UW SCSI controller

Hi,
I will soon install a software RAID on a linux Red Hat system.
I would like to ask some questions about this. I already read the howto.
Is this system performant ? Is it the same as hardware RAID ? Is hardware
RAID really better ? Is it hard to Install ? Should I use SCSI 2, 3, UW ?
Thank y
