[olug] Raid and or Journaling

[Vincent]

I've been using s/w raid (raid5) at work in very intense production systems
for nearly two years without any trouble, even after a disk failure.  We
have one application called "drivewidower", due to it's ability to trash a
good scsi drive every 6 months and it is now writing to a s/w raid without
any problems.
We also use reiserfs, to an extent, on s/w raid without any trouble at all.
I've been testing Ext3 to see if there's any advantages to switching to it
in the near future.  I haven't had any trouble with it either, but I'm not
sure if it would help in the environments where we're currently using ext2.
