#1 Re: Software RAID5 and LVM with the Etch Installer Posted by TRS-80 (130.95.xx.xx) on Thu 22 Mar 2007 at 12:06 Instead of running RAID 5 with a hot spare, you should consider running RAID 6. With the increasing size of hard disks, resyncing can take long enough that the chance of a second disk failure is non-trivial. And to quote the md(4) manpage "The performance for RAID6 is slightly lower but comparable to RAID5 in normal mode and single disk failure mode."
