raw devices or partitions?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Is it better to use raw devices for a RAID setup or make one partition on the 
drive and then create your RAID from there?
Right now if have one setup that uses raw, but get messages "unknown partition 
table" all the time in my logs. 
I am planning to create a RAID 5 setup (seems to be stable these days?), but 
wondering  to deal with  raw drives or partitions (4 at the moment).
In the wiki they're referring to raw devices in the examples, but that could 
be outdated?


Cheers,
Sjoerd
