I intend to shuffle things around quite a bit when 7.0 arrives by going to ReiserFS and possibly RAID (I'll have 3 drives of 25Gb+ available).
From what I've read on this list reiser seems stable and is the way to go. However, I haven't gotten quite as warm and fuzzy feeling about software RAID. Should I be wary or go for it?
In the last 10 years I've had only 2 drives go bad but both were within the last 6 months which has made me hyper about drive failures. I want to go to bed at night knowing that even if power goes out or a hard drive fails I can still easily recover. Oh, and BTW, I _do_ have a UPS but no tape backup.
Well, I'd invest in a tape backup. With ReiserFS the UPS isn't as necessary as a good, reliable backup solution (if even with software or hardware RAID).
