[asterisk-users] Server Setup Advice

[Elliot Murdock]

Hello!

Oh, yes, I will be mirroring the harddrives in case of any failures.

What is your opinion about using (software) RAID?  Do you think the
overhead impacts performance too much?

In an ideal situation, I would use hardware RAID, but that is not
feasible right now.

Thanks,
Elliot
