==== RAID ====

  * raid calculator -> http://www.ibeast.com/content/tools/RaidCalc/RaidCalc.asp

<code>
A big performance increase for RAID5 systems: use 'noatime' in fstab.
or:
mount / -o remount,noatime

This way every read does not result in an update of the 'access-time' 
which is a write as well.
