Too bad there's nothing like the Veritas Volume manager for Linux. You can do all sorts of RAID reconfiguations, all with the system still up and processing data. We have 2 Sun A5100 fiber channel storage arrays with 14 disks each, and I was reconfiguring them a whole bunch of different ways to figure out what had the best performance. The whole time, the database on it was still up and processing data, although slowly sometimes.

I have 2 20 gig drives in RAID 0 and I want to add a 3rd. Annoying. Nick.T.Reinking at supervalu.com wrote: > No, RAID is a handy standard.
