Linux Server RAID Config Best Practices

In episode 115, Lucas and Luna break down the practical decisions behind RAID configuration on Linux servers. They walk through the trade-offs between hardware and software RAID, explain when mdadm still beats modern alternatives, and share a real-world story about a misconfigured RAID 5 array that cost a startup two days of downtime. The episode covers stripe size selection, the case for RAID 10 over RAID 5 in database workloads, and how to monitor array health with smartmontools and mdstat. If you manage Linux storage, this episode gives you a clear framework for choosing the right RAID level and avoiding common pitfalls.
