Hey Folks,
I hear people extolling the virtues of "software RAID" on the list a
lot. I'm finally setting up a production server in a school and I have
enough disks to play with to do RAID. I'm leaning towards RAID 5.
Anyway, when people say "software RAID" do they mean just setting up a
RAID in LVM Manager? Or is the mdadm command the simpler, more robust,
preferred way to do this? I never thought about using LVM for this
before, but the last time I was in there I noticed some RAID options.
This is for a Samba/LDAP/home directory server.
Thanks,
ck
