What kind of RAID was it?
In b4 "RAID is not a backup solution".
>> [ fail ] Anonymous
My <actual> important stuff is fine. I keep a second copy rsync'd on a 500gig drive. All the fun stuff that isn't important is at risk. It's a Raid 5, 4x320gig disk array in ubuntu linux.

Hahahaha.
Wtf uses linux for decent raid? wtf uses ubuntu on top of that?

Buy a decent raid controller and get some OpenBSD. Fag.

Also, I suck cocks.

I run RAID 1, it IS a backup solution. This fool doesn't.

RAID is not a stable "backup" option, simply because it never was intended to be.

That said, RAID 5/6 is superiour.
>> [ fail ] Anonymous
are you serious? hardware controller for a raid 5 is a really bad idea for home users. You'll need to buy the identical card if it dies, or wait weeks for an RMA? If my entire computer explodes minus n-1 drives, I can get my data back.

What's better about OpenBSD? Why am I gay?

Yes I think you might suck a wang from time to time.

ubuntu is the Microsoft of linux distros..

I agree, Pickup openBSD or Gentoo...

why bother with gentoo ? Take Debian if you are too stupid to not want ubuntu just because a lot of people like it and want a good distro still...

OP, were you using dmraid (i.e. shitraid), or some sexy MD raid?

Gentoo for the motherfucking win. Running gentoo-2.6.21-r5

OpenBSD is not really an ideal OS for people who like to keep their software up-to-date regularly.

The OpenBSD folks are great at quickly fixing bugs in the base OS and providing patches. But when there are bugs in external apps ("ports" in the BSD world), they are not as quick to respond with updates.

Besides that, when a new port is available, it usually means you will have to recompile the application to update it, because they only provide binary packages for releases (twice a year only), not updates. Say a security bug gets fixed in KDE for example. Enjoy recompiling it for the next 2 hours.

Plus they don't provide a simple way to pick out only the port updates that fix security holes. When you run cvsup on ports and run out-of-date, you might find a lot of stuff to update, and no way to pick out only the security-related ones without having to read all the changelogs.

Most Linux distros do better than this.

i usually wait till the entire tree has finished out and masked releases for the next kernel version start before going to the next version... EX I'll wait till the 2.6.23-r1 masked ebuild is available before I emerge 2.6.22.

Also...as for the dude talking about re-compiling KDE for 2 hours. Enjoy your heavy ass WMs... fluxfox ftw.

Congratulations on completely missing the point.

I wasn't complaining about KDE taking a long time to compile, I was complaining about the lack of binary packages for updates, which can mean lots of time spent compiling software just to get updates. KDE is just a good example.

Errrr.... most people have large raid arrays outside of "constant use" i.e you dont use it as a workstation/gaming PC, it shits and acts as a fileserver.

As for why would you use OpenBSD - because you're a fucking retard if you dont encrypt all your disks and keep a tight lock on things. Also - while it may not be patched often, there are generally a very low amount of critical problems that need fixing in the base OS.

Your recompile times dont matter on a server either.

Or you could just use FreeBSD, the faster patching yet still rock solid performance keep it up there - but OpenBSD has slight advantages with safe storage imho.
