hi!
i was wonderin (also tried my luck on perfomance-gentoo, but no one
home), what kind of partition + fs table would be optimal on server
and/or desktop. afaik, /usr/portage would be on its own partition, and
perhaps reiserfs and raid0. distfiles should be on a different
partition, so it would not be in the way of portage itself... but, what
about other parts of gentoo/linux. and is journaling filesystem over
striping raid just asking for trouble?
I'm running a 300-gig/disk, 4-SATA-disk, kernel RAID here, and /love/ it!
Each of the four disks is partitioned identically to the others, with the
corresponding partitions on each grouped in the corresponding RAIDs.
/dev/md0 (on /dev/sd[a..d]1) is raid-1, necessary for boot, since that's
all grub and the like understand, but that's all that's on the raid-1.

Duncan,
Did you look in to EVMS at all. I am setting up a similar system to
yours...4 stat disk, linux raid, etc. However, I really wanted to use
EVMS and am only partially successful. I have, as of now, been able to
get the EVMS stuff correctly in initrd such that I can complete a boot.
Just curious if you'd looked into EVMS at all and if you had any thoughts.
Cheers,
Kevin
