Do you have a KVM switch on your server ?

hi cabalo no i dont i did not think i would ever need it so i did not get it with the server
Re: how to change ovh server raid to 0
That would have allowed you to raid0 via hardware, which is my recommended setup.
A soft raid0 on linux is not something I have made yet, so unfortunately for now I can't be of much help.

Re: how to change ovh server raid to 0
I assume:
- you have access to OVH manager.
- you don't have hardware raid
You can reinstall the OS from the manager and choose raid0 for the /home partition. / cannot be on raid0, it will stay on raid1.
This is the quickest way, assuming you don't mind a format.
If you don't want to do that, you need to delete the current /home partition and create a new one in raid0 with mdadm.
For example:
Code:
mdadm --create /dev/md2 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2
