Putting the question a bit higher for better understanding. > What RAID would be the better choice? 10 or 01? Generally RAID 10 is more robust and fault tolerant. Some things depending on the controller if it's smart or not. But rebuilding the raid in case of an error is much faster with RAID10. If you want to know more read http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/perf/raid/levels/multXY-c.html Concl.: RAID 10 is a good choice! > Also I was thinking, to use one RAID 1 for the virtualisation-system > and > the other six harddisks for the virtual servers. It's not fully clear to me what you mean with virtual MySQL-Servers. You should buy 2 * 73k 15RPM for the OS to have the mysql data separated. If this is not practical/possible you have to put the os and mysqldata together. Not nice, but well. Nothing is perfect ;) 2 RAID10 with 4*300GB. ~ 600GB cap. each mount FIRST_RAID10 /data/mysql_master mount SECOND_RAID10 /data/mysql_slave ifconfig bond0:0|eth1:0 virtualip netmask .... ifconfig bond0:1|eth1:1 virtualip1 netmask .... /etc/my.cnf [mysqld101] bind-address virtualip1 datadir = /data/mysql_master ... [mysqld102] bind-address virtualip2 data-dir = /data/mysql_slave Is this what you are searching for? HTH!
