RAID over RAID

You know what really sucks about RAID 5?


When you're losing shitty old systems bought almost 20 years ago and two drives fail at the same time, the server's internal hard drive (which is separate from the server RAID) is wiped, the remote station is wiped, it's on a SPARC system running Solaris, your instructions are contradictory, you're supposed to get SPAWAR to do massive reloads, and you're told to "fix it anyway" and work three, 60 hour weeks (salary, mind you) and when you finally get it up, what do you get? A job to get more PC133 RAM for one of the remote stations... which is a much harder task than you'd think (17 sticks of bad RAM later)...

All I want is a NAM (Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal). Two measly award points... but nooooo....

All I have to say is... why in gods name would you run RAID in software?

Although it would be nice to rob a bank, and then build a 50TB RAID-0 array out of  SSD's.

The speed would be...  well damn it better be EPIC or something!  >:(

Because I can't afford hardware RAID.  Besides, for the project that I'm actually going to use RAID for (not this, lol!), the bottleneck will be NFS, which I assume will be slower than pushing RAID off onto the OS.

^a project for building a custom NAS ???
