[clue-tech] NetServer LH3R and Linux...what's a good RAID config?

Tue Mar 7 23:20:51 MST 2006

I think SuSE 9.1 will work.  The most you'll be able to get out of RAID5 will be 48GB,
by putting all the spindles in the volume.  You could go RAID0 and get the full 54GB,
but you lose the file-system if any member fails.
