So do you mirror and then stripe, or do you stripe and then mirror? How many drives you can lose where will be different depending on the approach.
Or do you do as linux does with its raid-10 mode which is neither stripe nor mirror ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-standard_RAID_levels#LINUX-MD-RAID-10 That's what's behind my raid-61, where the simple mechanics of 6 & 1 guarantee you can lose at least 4 drives, but the scattering action means you can probably survive losing a lot more. Have you been reading the linux raid wiki? :-) https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Linux_Raid Cheers, Wol -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
