[Gluster-users] linux raid0 vs gluster raid0

[Mickey Mazarick]

  Use the linux software raid first. Gluster is best used between 
servers as an additional level of raid.  If I remember your setup 
correctly it would be best to do a linux software raid 5 then mirror 
with another server for redundancy.
