I'm looking for general advice/tips/admonitions of doom. I'm getting ready to build a file server and I want to have some data redundancy. I've ordered four 350G SATA drives and I plan to put them into some kind of RAID 5 configuration. The boot disk will be a separate IDE drive.
The motherboard I'm using is an intel d945gnt. It has an intel Martix driver that will let me do RAID 5 in the bios. Then, linux should see one big whopping device. That sounds like the easiest solution to me. Option two is to use linux software RAID. I've never done that before, but I can learn. So, please help me to make a decision. Thanks. (if it matters, this is just a file server for my home. I don't need super high throughput or anything like that) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
