Re: [PLUG] Backup RPi SD card

You could try separating your /boot to a vfat partition of it's own and putting everything else on a partition formatted with a file system that support live backups such as XFS. Of course your kernel would have to have support for this so if the Raspberrypi OS your using doesn't you would need

It has become quite expensive to maintain all the same vendor and model 15K SAS drives in large raid arrays. Would using different vendor SAS drives in the same array cause any problems/performance degradation/reliability/ differences? ___ PLUG mailing
