[Discuss] Striping is bad

[Jack Coats]

Edward,
  If you were thinking that RAID-0 would give you anything other than
a larger single file system
(like ANY redundancy), you were wrong.

  There are still reasons for using RAID-0, but you apparently did not
have a reason.  Sorry you
had to learn about the reasons for various RAID levels.

  I have heard people say similar things about using RAID-5, after
experiencing a double disk
failure.  Of course they were not monitoring their RAID-5 (either
visually or by software), so again
the technology worked, just not 'the way they thought it would'.

  Education is expensive, whether it is in the University of Hard
Knocks or a 'formal education'.
I just hope your tuition didn't kill a career (I have known some where it did).
