Create a RAID 5 using LVM

“

- [Instructor] For more robust server environments where uptime is important, RAIDs provide redundancy and/or higher throughput speeds. RAIDs are redundant arrays of independent disks. You can create RAIDs using LVM or the Madmin tool on Linux. LVM supports RAID levels zero, one, four, five, six and ten. RAID level zero is striping and provides no redundancy at all, but is fast. Striping requires two or more drives. The more drives the faster the throughput, up to a point. RAID level one is disc mirroring. The contents of the first drive is the same as the second, mirrors are created from pairs of drives. Mirrors are generally slower than single drives because you have to write the data twice. RAID level 10 is disc mirroring and striping. It's essentially two mirrors combined in a stripe to regain some of the speed lost from the mirror. RAID level four is striping with parity which requires three drives or more. A…
