Did you read my other mail? With defaults I mean that what you get, if you don't use any special commandline parameters. Though, if you are concerned about performance, it would be wise to read e.g. the Software RAID Howto (which talks a bit about chunk size, stride and so on) and to experiment with these parameters. >> > Use an external journal for ext3 that is located on a RAID1. >> >> Does this really increase performance if the RAID1 would be on the >> same disk(s)?

It wouldn't increase the speed if the RAID1 is on the same disks, but if you have a different disk set you should see an increase. For very high performance stuff people put the journal on a battery backed solid state disk - very expensive though.
