I’m gonna have to confiscate these: ####.
6 is preferable over 5 because with today’s disk sizes, swapping in a new drive and resilvering it (full disk write basically in terms of amount of data) takes so long that statistically you might just encounter a second failure during that, which for raid 5 would mean complete failure of the array.
Of course, that’s just an uptime issue, since raid is not backup.
This is me and you
And we are running
To change the world
Where hope is shining through
