I would like to build a 12-15 TB RAID 5 data server to run under ContOS. Any recommendations as far as hardware, configuration, etc?

This comes up often:) Things to keep in mind when using large discs if you suffer a failure, while rebuilding in a degraded state it's not impossible or unlikely to drop another disc loosing it all.

Rebuild times especially on busy arrays with large discs take lots of time... _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Thanks Joseph!

In your opinion, if we are talking about 15 2-TB disks what does "lots of time" translate to?
