software raid

A high-risk flaw in the Linux kernel’s software RAID code, tracked as CVE-2024-35808, has been quietly fixed upstream and pushed into vendor updates: the md/dm-raid driver called md_reap_sync_thread from raid_message without the necessary synchronization, creating a window where the kernel’s...

Thanks to my discovery of this forum my video server is well on its way to being set-up (Thanks to Neemobeer). My next question has to do with setting up a RAID 5 array. As I understand RAID it provides some level of data redundancy and a higher read speed than a plain old JBOD (spanning)...

I setup a redundancy using windows 7 for the time being until I can afford a decent RAID card. My question is whether or not I will have near double read speed by using it. I know that since only some software RAID has this ability, I bet I don't... but I have no idea how to tell. For...

Sorry for the long post :( I have 7 hard disks, all SATA 3 - are a hardware based raid 5 array 4 - are a raid-5 dynamic volume. All disks are intact no damage. Dynamic volume was used 2 hours ago, no issue I wanted to load windows 7 on it to see how it would perform on this machine. So...
