Hi,
I have 4 x 500GB PATA Harddisk and I like to have them striped and mirrored. What is the best practise? Raid 0+1 or 1+0.. And how do i go about it?
Raid 1 and then Raid 0
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID
Read the sectioon on RAID 1+0
Given: sda sdb sdc sdd
Set up md0 (Raid1) (sda,sdb) Set up md1 (Raid1) (sdc,sdd)
Set up md2 (Raid0) (md0,md1)
Of course given the chance a hardware raid is better. :)
