raid question
Greetings; (Posted to LINUX-390 and debian-s390 lists)
I came across an unsettling bit of info a while back.
I was told that if you lose one volume of a raid set you can replace
and the data will get rebuilt, but if you lose a second volume before
you get the first one rebuilt you will lose all the data -- irretrievably!
Is this true? Is there any reasonable way to get around it? Is there
a reasonable alternative to raid?
As always, Many TIA!
Dennis
