Hard drives at the bottom, raid on that, lvm on that, and probably btrfs on that.
I hope you wont ever have a faulty drive...
That's the main reason for having that setup. When a drive fails the machine carries on whilst you buy a replacement and swap it for the failed drive, which rebuilds.
not always, not always like you want, not always when you want. this setup is extremely expensive and is interesting is you want a system as much as possible always running. some failures on openSUSE servers recently show that even very well made system can fail. there are many situation where rebuilding a raid array can be very time consuming and error prone for example, do you have at hand an exact replacement for any disk in the raid array. What if one fail and you have to wait three days to get an other? well, anyway it's not my actual problem, much simpler jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
