[nmglug] Raid Help

[Tim Emerick]

I'm actually not concerned much with software vs hardware raid but more
interested in getting better performance with some fault tolerance.

In doing some more research it seems that what I need to do is make a jump to
RAID10...stripe+mirror.  http://www.acnc.com/04_00.html

Sounds like what I need is another ide controller and 2 more drives to do the
RAID10.

Any thoughts on whether I would get a performance boost or not?

Here's my /proc/mdstat for your reading enjoyment.


v8701-a1:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md0 : active raid1 hde1[0] hdg1[1]
      78150592 blocks [2/2] [UU]

unused devices: <none>
