You assistance is appreciated.



I have question regarding disk 
storage for postgres servers
 
We are thinking long term about 
scalable storage and performance and would like some advise
or feedback about 
what other people are using.
 
We would like to get as much 
performance from our file systems as possible.
 
We use ibm 3650 quad processor with 
onboard SAS controller ( 3GB/Sec) with 15,000rpm drives.
We use raid 1 for the centos 
operating system and the wal archive logs.
The postgres database is on 5 drives 
configured as raid 5 with a global hot spare.
 
We are curious about using SAN with 
fiber channel hba and if anyone else uses this technology.
We would also like to know if people 
have preference to the level of raid with/out 
striping.
