Hi guys,
it has been a long time since i was last subscribed to this list, (we
were still running gentoo 1.4 then), so let me say hello to everyone, i
love being in the gentoo community.
No, let me get to the point. In the near future, i am going to migrate
one server for a local highschool onto another one. I am going to do a
fresh install on the new server (an HP tc 2100) and i was thinking
between FC3 and gentoo. But i am writing to this list, so you all know
how i have decided :-). The new server has this problem: it's got one
36GB SCSI disk, and two 250GB IDE disks. And i need to build a RAID
with LVM on top of that. (mirroring is a must)
The problem i am having is this: how do i work this out with 3 disks?
Should i leave the SCSI disk out of raid/lvm, and install the system on
it, with the user data going to the RAID on top of the 2 IDE disks? (i
quite inclined to do this). Or, would it be OK to stick all of the 3
disks into a RAID5?, (but i dont' really feel comfortable mixing ide
and scsi disks into one cocktail...)
The ideal situation would be, if i got my hands on another scsi disk.
That would be totally great, (i'd put the system on top of one mirror
built of the 2 scsi disks, and the rest of the user data would go on
top of the ide disks mirror) but i don't see the school producing a new
scsi disk for me just like that.
If you have any opinions / recommendations concernign this issue,
please let me know. I am really interested in the gentoo users opinion,
(and myself being a libra, i hope i will able to make up my mind :-))
