I am going to setup a lustre file system using the following hardware and am 
looking for some advice on how to apportion the disk space...

* 4 OSS's, each with 16 500G SATA drives on a ARECA RAID controller
* 1 MDS with a system drive and two 300G drives for metadata

Basically I'm wondering what would be the best way to slice up the raid arrays. 
 The choices are one raid set and one large LUN, one raid set and multiple 
smaller LUN's (OST's), or multiple smaller raid sets.  

Comments anyone?

Thanks,
