From previous experience with mdraid we found it gives significantly less performance than using hardware RAID.
My experience is the opposite, at least if your machine has adequate cable headers such that mdraid arrays each get a separate controller. The problem is that the underlying computer improves its speed with upgrades, but nobody upgrades the raid controllers, and they never get any faster. I've actually had better performance by turning off the raid software into the hardwarew of a raid controller, and just using the drive controllers as separate hardware ports for a mdraid setup. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
