It depends on your load, system setup and wishes of administration ;-) Having more than one partition helps in distributing the load in the system slightly better, also the load in network, if you do have more than one NIC and one harddrive for the iSCSI storage. Having more than one partition raises administration overhead (on which partition is my volume now, wehre is the RO copy,..), so it is not for free. If you have more than one HD to save data on, I would suggest more than one partition on suifficient load. If you have only 2 volumes and 3 users, it really does not care much^^ > Thanks for your help! > > Stefano > Fabio MfG, Lars Schimmer -- ------------------------------------------------------------- TU Graz, Institut für ComputerGraphik & WissensVisualisierung Tel: +43 316 873-5405 E-Mail: [email protected] Fax: +43 316 873-5402 PGP-Key-ID: 0x4A9B1723
