Managing RAID on Linux

Managing RAID on Linux, 9781565927308 (1565927303), O'Reilly, 2002

"Finally, the book contains a good index and a brief appendix giving links to other sources. A very useful volume that should find favour with anyone who wishes to implement RAID on a Linux system." - Steve Boniwell, HP/Works

Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) technology is becoming a standard feature of computer systems that support mission-critical services like file sharing, mail exchange, or Web servers. RAID offers two benefits to these essential systems: improved I/O performance and fail-safe data storage. RAID has become the low-cost solution of choice to deal with the ever-increasing demand for data storage space. Managing RAID on Linux covers everything system administrators, power users, and tech managers need to know to put together a system that can support RAID. You will learn about the different types of RAID, along with associated technologies and issues, and how to choose the best RAID system for your needs. With a step-by-step, hands-on approach, the author guides you through the installation of either Linux software RAID or a hardware RAID card. The book shows how to build an array and optionally install a high-performance file system. Managing RAID on Linux sidesteps the often-confusing vendor-specific approach you'll find elsewhere to give you the straight story on RAID. Even non-Linux users will find this book full of valuable material.
