OT: RAID Help

["Paul Smith" <wheelbarrowhandle@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,


      I know several of you use RAID and I was
wondering if you can
point me in the right direction.


      I currently have an Abit AT7 MD with 4
channel IDE raid built
in. (Supports 8 Ide Drives)

      I have at the moment 4 120gb disks. One on
each ide channel.
These have been configure for Raid 0+1. Such that I have 230gb of
space.


I have now used this up and require to make it bigger. 


Firstly I guess I can not just add disks to the array and hope that my
data is safe.

I plan to add 4 more disks to give me around 460gb of space. However
how
should I get the  raid laid out.

Do I use all primary disks and then mirror on the secondarys or should
I
group 2 primaries and 2 secondary and then mirror then on the others.

Any help on this would be useful.


Thanks


Paul
