Len: I thought the best configuration would be something like the following:
-- Raid 1 (2 drives): OS and application -- Raid 1 (2 drives): Mailboxes -- 1 drive: spool directory For a total of 5 SCSI drives. We are in the process of porting our servers and I was under the impression that would be the most desirable config. True ? False?

Mailboxes and mailqueue is 50:50 read:write, best with RAID1 whereas RAID5 is better for database where it's 90:10 read:write. >If we dropped the logging to the RAID1 partition I noted below, you >think the mailboxes and such should still be RAID1 (or RAID0) also? yes. RAID5 no where.
