Hi Guys, As my dream of a hardware based SCSI RAID root disk was so soundly dashed, I have been trying to figure out the most appropriate software implementation for a media server. Which sw RAID is best for streaming media? The options I have are: RAID1z, the redundancy is not my concern so much as performance over a network, but if the reduction in performance is negligible I may opt for it for fun. or RAID0 using gvinum, a far more complex option so I'd like to get an idea of its suitability. Otherwise if there are any other avenues please fill me in. I am at a loss on which way to go... Thanks =^_^=
