Is there a website or something out there recommending this sort of setup? Wondering where this bad idea is coming from. > 2. Shouldn't the docs indicate somewhere that if you deviate from the > recommended partitioning scheme, you might see problems like this? That's true of everything, not just partitions schemes! "There are an infinite number of possible configurations, only a subset of which are tested. The further you deviate from the recommended setups, the more likely you'll find a configuration for which *you* are the tester. You'll have to be the judge whether the value you get from your particular deviation is worth the risks and costs of doing so." Would that have changed your decision process _before_ you encountered the problem? It's such a broad warning that I can't believe it'll be generally effective except as a post-facto "we told you so!"...which is not often appreciated. :( Philip Guenther
