My diskpool is on a SAN, I have to increase the size cause I'm taking about 450GB per day and my diskpool is 350GB...
Is there a RAID issue for performance .... right now my diskpool is on a RAID5 ... should I still use RAID5 or there a better RAID configuration??
RAID 5 is a bad choice, as noted in past postings such as http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg57811.html . RAID 1+0 (mirroring & striping) makes a lot of sense for stgpools. The mirroring may be overkill, if you quickly drain to tape.
