Re: Best disk partioning for 23GB drives?

Hmmm, if you're mirroring, you'll have to use one disk as primary and the other one as mirror. Essentially your usable bandwidth is equal to that of one disk, probably between 3 and 7 megabytes per second for serial reads. I wouldn't expect great throughput, you'll want to be working as much as possible in memory (I hope you have lots of that...). Serious I/O usually involves a gaggle of smaller disks, lots of SCSI/fiber channels and a logical volume manager, but that's a hefty server config. So what are you planning to do with what sounds like a disk heavy, bandwidth light workstation?? Greg partha@fcmc.com wrote: > > I am using Online 7.23 on a Sun Ultra 2.
