If you need information on RAID0, RAID1 or RAID1 over RAID0 for kernels
2.0.30 to 2.0.35, please e-mail me and I will send you the information
that I've worked out with the generous help of the linux-raid list. Its
too large to send to the linux-raid list and would spam a lot of people
if I did.

Suppose I had a system equipped with, say, 4x 9GB SCSI disks that I'd
like to set up as a fairly generic server system. Conventional server
setup wisdom says to partition /, /usr, /var, /home and perhaps
/var/spool separately. However, how

I don't see how this would really help with general I/O performance,
the RAID code is in the kernel, plus with the RAID thread itself
taking less than 20% of the CPU (usually around 10%) I don't see this
as a processor issue but more of a hardware (motherboard, memory bandwidth,
disk bandwidth) is

You could try compiling your kernel and C library with pentium
GCC. It's at www.goof.com/pcg and is stable at all optimiz
Seeing as we're all using RAID here, someone might know how to eek
better performance out of a I/O subsystem.
I'm using a Dual PPro system (Tyan S1668) with 3 Mylex KT-958
controllers. Each controller has 3 Seagate Barracuda ST15150W
drives (fast/wide, approx. 5MB/sec internal transfer bandwidth
My experience with Linux software RAID up to now has consisted of
combining a number of disks to one very large ext2 volume. However,
now I'm curious about paritioning and performance characteristics of
multiple partitions on a RAID system. Since I don't have a suitable
configuration I could run t
