Creating mdraid device on top of other existing mdraid devices
- by Dmitriusan
I'm considering creating something like "hierarchical raid" and wondering whether it is possible using pure mdraid. Moreover, I'm going to boot from this device. I'm using Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS with Grub2 bootloader.
Motivation behind doing that is:
I have 4 x 1tb 7200rpm disks. Two are newer and faster (up to 200mb/sec) and other two are slower…
