Hello!

somewhere in maillist I've seen RAID1+md concat+XFS being promoted as mailstorage. Does anybody in here actually use this setup?

I've decided to give it a try, but ended up with not being able to recover any data off survived pairs from linear array when _the_first of raid1 pairs got down.

This is the configuration endorsed by Stan Hoeppner. His description of the benefits is quite compelling, but real world feedback is interesting to achieve.

Note that you wouldn't get anything back from a similar fail of a RAID10 array either (unless we are talking temporary removal and re-insertion?)
