Software raid setup
Hello I am new here and somewhat new to Ubuntu. I have manages to set up one server and am trying to setup a second computer with Ubuntu server 16.04 with software raid. The trouble I'm having I have an old HP server and want to setup with 5 2tb drives and 1 32gb usb flash drive for my system and i'm confused with how to setup my partitions correctly. I have searched the web many times and cannot find the help I need for this configuration. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply
RAID LEVEL 5 |
Are you planning on installing the (entire) operating system on the USB flash drive ?. Then using the RAID for data ?.
This would be a really bad idea, as flash drives are slow and somewhat fragile. Tell us what your planned layout is. In detail. As to your query, there should be a bunch oftutorials on the web - mainly for Ubuntu server I suspect. |
I second syg00, with the addition that I've never even heard of running a server os off of a flash drive. SSDs are different than flash drives. The memory is somewhat similar, but the way they work is totally different. You'd have problems putting the system on USB flash.

Thanks to syg00 and AwesomeMachine for the replys.
