Stripe Set of RAID 5 Sets (RAID 0/5)
RAID technology allows you to create arrays that contain other
arrays. (Also known as multilevel arrays.) A
stripe set of RAID 5 sets
is an array made up of two or more equal-sized RAID 5 sets. The
data in a stripe set of RAID 5 sets is redundant.
Figure A-8 represents a stripe set of RAID 5 sets created from two
equal-sized RAID 5 sets (A and B) and striped across six drives.
Each RAID 5 set is made up of three equal-sized partitions on three
separate drives. The free space of the larger drive is not used.
Figure A-8. Stripe set of RAID 5 sets
The stripe set of RAID 5 sets is the top-level array, and RAID 5 sets A
and B are the underlying arrays.
Other types of multilevel arrays exist, though the stripe set of mirror
sets offers the best redundancy of any array type.
