[edit] Linux RAID 10 driver

I've updated the Linux RAID 10 driver paragraph after reading the driver author's web page and examining the actual driver code. I've removed the line about RAID 10 on two disks and the block diagram as they are not standard RAID 10. Avernar 08:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I've expanded the Linux RAID 10 section in the Proprietary RAID levels article to include the far layout so the block diagram is now there (but with three drives). Avernar 09:48, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Edited the section on RAID 30

I removed the comment from the RAID 30 section which claimed the highest level of redundancy and performance for RAID 30, since it directly contradicts the statement in the preceding paragraph that, after one drive failure, all the other drives in the failed drive's cluster become a single point of failure. RAID 60, on the other hand, can afford to have half the drives in the entire array fail before data loss occurs. Gepard 12:30, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images and Diagrams

Please do not remove and images or diagrams. They're all there for a reason. The diagrams were added by various authors to prove a point. Eventually all the diagrams should be converted to images. Diagrams are easier to edit by most so that's what they start off as until someone with artistic talent updates them to an image.Avernar 15:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem. Sorry about that. Koweja 17:47, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RAID 51

There is a typo (or copy paste error) in RAID 10 and RAID 0+1 sections: "hybrid approaches such as RAID 0+1+5 (mirroring above single parity) or RAID 0+1+6 (mirroring above dual parity)." Mirroring above single parity is logically RAID 51 (this is consistence with main RAID article). I will correct this and add an external link to http://www.linux-tutorial.info about RAID.
