UFS and spreading data

2007-08-03 Thread Wojciech Puchar
AFAIK UFS try to spread data quite evenly on disk to different cylinder group - for large files, so small files can get it's space near inodes etc.. but i would like to clear things up: i will set up say 3 disks with gconcat and make one partition for all data on it. then i will populate it
