Re: RAID Levels

We use Raid 0+1 on all of our partitions except the one for TEMP.

TEMP is running on a 200GB Raid 0 partition.
I have spare disks to replace bad ones.
I can bring back the system online within 10 minutes.

We had a Raid 5 once here but I replaced it with Raid 0+1.

I also use RAID 0+1. The "0" striping is hardware RAID. The "1" mirroring is
software (Veritas Volume Manager) RAID. It works very well. I have lost
entire disk arrays and my instance never went down.
