Good point. Never thought about it... Performance is not the issue after all.
I dont mind losing the data in the cache, but if one disk fails the downtime will be much higher with a failing stripe.
No need to panic, but I will split them asap.


Thanks! Hendrik.

I agree at once with RAID 5.
Striping should speed up disk performance the same way squid uses
multiple disks, don't you think?


Yes, but if all you are doing is striping, then you might be better off
splitting the disks - a disk failure will only wipe out part of your cache
instead of all of it.
