Hi, given that I'll install a mainserver on real hardware (Yes, 99% I'll jump onboard), and given that I have HP-Proliant servers with hardware raid (cciss or whatever is called)... I hope I'll not start a terrible flame... Well I allways have the same doughts: 4 disks raid 0+1 or raid 5 (4 disks, or 3 + 1 spare), or even other setups. Have you any recommendations?
