Okay, here is a description of what I am trying to do:
Have one namespace (share) for a group of ppl to access and store many files of varying sizes (20k < - > 10gb) with data redundancy.
Here is what I have:
3 RAID1 arrays of SCSI320 130gb baracudas, server03.
Here is what i have it setup as:
in teh raid controller, 3 raid one arrays (and a seperate raid1 for OS, thats fine). I then setup the 3 drives in windows as a spanned array, so that there is one name space, but still have raid1 redundancy at the hardware level.
The raid contoller doesnt support 0+1 (90% sure).
I realize that with multiple ppl accessing the files at once, it will have slower transfer then with seperate arrays, but that is okay. Usually there is only one person at a time.
Is there any other (more efficient/elegant) way to do this? other than adding the raid0 software level through the OS?
