Yes. If you don't know what you're doing, you want RAID-10 across all the disks, no spares. You will end up with 12TB of space, but complete protection against any one disk failing, and possibly protection against up to 6 disks failing. You also want to enable mdadm scanning and reporting, so you know when a disk fails. If you do know what you're doing, all this can change. -dsr- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
