Hi All,
What is the difference between stripping and mirroring?
Thanks,
Rafi.
Honestly? I mean really? I'd have thought that those words are, unlike "child", "fork", or "process" would be pretty much self-explanatory.
Stripping:
--------------
It stores the information on each disk.It is like data is split and stored in
two different hard disk.If one disk crashes you will lose all the data.
It is for improve the speed,because each disk want to process the
half of the information only.
Mirroring:
--------------
It is used to store same copies of data on separate disks.
If one hard disk crashes we will have a backup in another disk.
Just for completeness - see difference between Raid0 (striping) and Raid1 (mirroring) here:
Standard Raid Levels
and you can combine both together like in a Raid1+0 or Raid10: nested Raids
Kind regards
