I'm having a bit of trouble understanding your question, but if you're asking about RAID then the general rule is to use RAID5 for systems that need high performance and fault tolerance, and use RAID1 for systems that only need fault tolerance. For database servers I usually recommend RAID5, as well as for any other server that will be heavily utilized.

Regarding the Linux questions, you would probably get better answers asking in a Linux forum.
