[Pvfs2-users] Can PVFS over multiple disks on a single node tolerate disk failures?

[Scully]

I want to store PVFS data on four disks in the same node. If I don't choose
RAID, based on my understanding to <3.2 How can I store PVFS data on
multiple disks on a single node?> in the FAQ, I should set four servers,
each for a disk.

Can such a system tolerate disk failures? Should I set each disk a metadate
server to get the disk failure tolerance?

I think the <7.3 Can PVFS tolerate disk failures?> in the FAQ means, if I
use RAID5 or RAID6 to combine the disks first, then, it can tolerate, am I
right?

Thank you.
