Software Raid

[Uwe Geercken]

hello everybody,

the schoolyear is over here in germany and I have taken the server  
home for maintenance. I built this server at the beginning of the year  
and been teaching linux at our local school to students of 6 to 8th  
class.

at the time I setup the system, I have used one harddisk for the  
system and one for the home directories of the students. so these are  
on seperate drives.

I am now thinking putting in a second drive and use software raid so  
that I will have faster reads. my first thought was to use raid for  
the system and still have the home folders on a seperate drive. or  
maybe I should put home and the system on the same drive and use raid  
for both?

could somebody please give me an advice?

rgds,

uwe
