For production use, I'd definitely consider at least a 2-disk RAID-1 or=20 perhaps a 4-disk RAID-6 if you want two-way check-sums, for that very=20 reason. With disks what they are now ($30 US shipped, SATA 40GB,=20 pricewatch.com, less if you'll take pulls tho I wouldn't), even if a new=20 server can be imaged and brought on line quickly, it's just not worth the= =20 hassle, for the cost of switching out a single disk and continuing in=20 place. Get the mdadm disk failure and walk over and hot-swap, then=20 monitor it while doing other things until the RAID rebuild is complete. =20 Pretty hard to beat. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
