A spare disk is added to the array, it is just marked as spare.
but is something written to it or only in case of an other disk failure? that's to see what is different with three disk raid 1
1) may I do two linux partitions for system and /home - data? Isn't that making the use of raid more difficult (two raids array), or may be it's in fact simpler?
That's a matter of taste. I have a number of external servers with 2 SATA drives in each. They have two partitions - swap and linux. Those are then RAID'ed to md0 and md1.
You can also in principle partition MD itself or setup LVM on top.
swap is on raid? why?
Because RAID is about availability and non-stop operation and if your application is (partially) swapped out and swap disk fails your application fails too.
2) I have a disk replicator (Aukey dock), so I plan to partition one drive and replicate to the two others with the dock. Is it a good idea or is it overkill? (I can also partition by hand with yast)
I don't see what the replication adds to the game. Just use YaST to install on your RAID array(s).
raid wiki insists to have identical disks
They mean really identical hardware (at least with very close specifications), not bit clone of content. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
