Since I'm in the process of setting up a file server for an office and
I'm wondering which is the better RAID 1 layout, particularly in the
event of component failure. Current I've setup choice 2 below, but after
having read "man raidctl" again, they mention choice 1.
Which would be the better choice for performance? for recovery?
1) Many partitions that are RAIDs:
wd0a | wd1a OpenBSD installations with RAID kernel.
wd0d | wd1d raid0 /
wd0e | wd1e raid1 swap
wd0f | wd1f raid2 /tmp
wd0g | wd1g raid3 /var
wd0h | wd1h raid4 /usr
2) One single large RAID partition, sub partitioned:
wd0a | wd1a OpenBSD installations with RAID kernel.
wd0e | wd1e raid0
raid0a /
raid0b swap
raid0e /tmp
raid0f /var
raid0g /usr
