I have a client with a handful of USB drives connected to a CentOS box. I am charged with binding the USB drives together into a single LVM for a cheap storage data pool (10 x 1 TB usb drives = 10 TB cheap storage in a single mount point).
I tried doing this for fun once upon a time, using 6 1TB drives. I can save you a lot of grief by suggesting that you don't think about this any further. Boy is it slow. And extremely unreliable. And slow. Don't even do it for backups. Did I say it was slow?
Please qualify 'slow'. Was it dog slow, turtle-slow, snail-slow or slowaris slow?
