How long to install a new RAID 1 pair in linux using hardware RAID?
- by Roger H
Hi,
I need to install a pair of 1Tb disks into a server that has a hardware RAID card.
How long is it likely to take to configure the RAID controller - sticking the disks in is only a 5 minute job, but is there likely to be significant downtime while both disks mirror (even though they are both blank)? Am I looking at 10 minutes over all, or more like 2 hours for this to happen?
Thanks
