    I'm sure that even here on Slashdot there are some people who aren't running huge multi-threaded database applications on their desktop machines, and for them, RAID-0 probably isn't going to help much.

    But for the majority of us normal people who are running huge multi-threaded database applications on their desktop machines, RAID-0 is much nicer than having to manually allocate all of your database extents across your disks. Of course, RAID-10 would be better, but that would involve spending money...

    RAID 0 may provide the former, but the loss of a single disk = bye bye data.

    Actually, it's bye bye da or bye bye ta.

    A friend who works with NAS/SAN systems jokingly told me that a hard drive exists in only 2 states:

    1) Failed

    2) About to fail

  6. It is nice to have one "/" for my Linux box by Gopal.V · · Score: 2, Funny

    Makes you wonder why Linux and other Unices have everything under one "/"... the convenience factor is amazing :)

    With NFS, cdroms , USB cards and harddisks in /mnt/ , life is a lot easier .

    Imagine this

    bash$ ln -sf /dev/sda1 /dev/camera
    bash$ mount /dev/camera /mnt/camera

    One "/" to root them all , eh ?
