We are getting ready to deploy a couple RAID disks in our AFS environment
and I had a couple questions concerning it.
Does anybody have information or experience on whether it is better to
try to use the entire RAID for one partition or to split it up into
smaller partitions? And if it is partitioned, how large or small
should the partitions be? (The RAID disks are 50GB and 67GB.)
I guess some of the concerns are better managability of volumes and how
quick a salvage would be on one vs. many partitions. I figure people are
going to have different setups and opinions, but I am interested in
anyone's experience on this.
Thanks.
