[CLUE-Tech] Speaking of RAID...

[Roy J. Tellason]

I'm giving some thought to setting up a RAID 5 array or two.  Looking at my 
options,  I have a nice DPT card here that'll support this in hardware,  but 
the docs with that seem to only allow for arrays that are all the same size 
drive.  In my reading of various HOWTO and similar documents,  it seems to 
indicate that this isn't a problem when doing it in software under linux.

Can any of you guys give me some idea as to what the tradeoffs might be in 
terms of performance?  I'm thinking that my bottlenecks are likely to end up 
being elsewhere,  mostly.
