I have more HDD in my computer. For exmp. i have 10 hdds.
How could i mount all of them to the same directory. I used LVM2 to get a huge drive out of them all combined, but it is not working as it should, one hdd died and i lost all data.
And i do not want to lose any data when hdd dies, so i thought i would mount all hdds to same folder for exmp. /home/data and i would get all space combined there, somehow, probably not possible that way, but how could i acomplish the same as i did with lvm or simmilar and i would not lose all data when one hdd would die, but only the stuff it was on dead hdd.
More like 1/3 of the space for raid 5 for example. Although having a 4th disk for a spare is a good idea. You won't be able to have redundancy for free. And only raid or lvm can take separate drives to form one large partition. If you use linear raid (not really raid) or striped raid (raid 0), you will loose the entire array if one of the drives goes bad. With 10 drives, that's 10 times as likely.
So there is no way to maybe mount all hdds to same location. It would be also good i could mount all drives to same path, so all data would be seen in one directory, that would suffice i think.
