What raid level to use?
The server will be a 1U server with 3 drives. It will be a webserver.
The configuration that I'm leaning to is RAID 1 to mirror drive 1 to drive 2 and then using rsync to backup to drive 3 (also rsyncing offsite).
With this configuration I get some fault tolerence (if drive 1 or 2 goes belly up) but I still have drive 3 for daily backup.
Am I on the right track?
The next question is which is better:
Linux kernel (software) RAID
A Mylex or Adaptec RAID controller
Thanks,
Frank
