I saw a few people respond with saying how hardware RAID is overkill for
home use. I had the system drive in my RH9 RAID1 file server at home die on
me last year; although I got a new drive and FC6 recognised the RAID
immediately I'm not sure whether my recovery was due to software resilency
or dumb luck. I'm currently working on gathering parts for a RAID5 file
server as a replacement.
1) If a RAIDed drive dies in a soft RAID setup can I assume I can't do a
hotswap?
2) If my system drive dies again would a new system recognize my RAID5
array?
3) Does soft RAID5 compare favorably against hware RAID5?
