Nathan,
My recomendation would be to use 3 mirrors. This would avoid mixing log files with
the OS, or placing log files on a raid5

Subject: [ActiveDir] disk configuration
I have a question about the best way to separate the AD DB and AD log files.
My standard server build is a Compaq DL380 with six 36GB drives and one Compaq
Smart Array 5i Controller.
Normally I mirror the first two HD's for OS and apps use the other four
disks for RAID5 with hot spare.
For Active Directory would it be best to use my standard configuration and put
the AD DB on the mirror with the OS and put the AD log files on the RAID5 or
should I take the six disks and make three mirrors:
Mirror1 = OS and apps
Mirror2 = AD DB
Mirror3 = AD logs
Any advice would be appreciated.
