Yes, but you're sacrificing significant storage capacity for a small performancve improvement.

FWIW, I have always prefered mirroring to striping. There is a little
bit of performane increase in using mirroring.

I'm going to install RH 7.3 on a system with a SCSI RAID. The RAID is on an Adaptec 3210S with six drives - 1 hot spare, 5 in the RAID. Normally I create separate paritions for things like /, tmp, home, var, usr but with the RAID I'm wondering if it's necessary. Could I just make the RAID (it's about 170Gig) two partitions (/boot, and /) with the other directories under / (/tmp, /var, etc.). What are the pros and cons of doing it this way? I'll have a Cybernetics 15 tape library attached to the system for backup.

Thanks.
