I'm going to rebuild my system at home soon, and was planning to mirror two drives. However, I was just looking up something about RAID, and on wikipedia found some information about the Linux MD driver, and "near" and "far" RAID10. Anyone have some opinions about them? mark "or should that be how many opinions do folks have about them?"

Hi, I have two 320 GB SATA disks (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb) in a server running CentOS release 5. They both have three partitions setup as RAID1 using md (boot, swap, and an LVM data partition). # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0] 104320 blocks [2/2] [UU] md1 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0] 4192896 blocks [2/2] [UU] md2 : active raid1 sdb3[1]
