As far as I can see the best option is a 1+0 is the best option as if one of the from mirrors fails, the RAID still be redundant and in the case of a 0+1 RAID, If one of them fails, the RAID will be down until u replace the HD in question... So my question is, if I am right above, what are de benefits of mounting a RAID 0+1 ?? Cheers! -- () ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org | Against proprietary extensions
