Subject: Re: Software RAID5 with 2.6.0-test
Date: Wed, 08 Oct 2003 16:24:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1065655452.13572.50.camel@torrey.et.myrio.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <yw1xoewrfizk.fsf@users.sourceforge.net>
My experience:
I'm running 2.6.0-test6 on a dual pentium 3 with software raid-5 across
5 disks on two different IDE hardware controllers (VIA and Promise).
I've got a 224 GB reiserfs partition on that.
After 8 days uptime, it doesn't seem to have blown up yet. However I
don't stress it heavily - just a nightly rsync or two which does a lot
of reading and writing, and I export my music collection on it via NFS,
which is a low level of read activity.
I mirror the RAID to an external firewire drive nightly for backup,
since I don't trust it 100% either, yet.
I'd also be interested to know if there are known problems with software
RAID5 in 2.6.
Hope that helps,
Torrey Hoffman
