This hardware mirroring thing has gotten way out of control... New question - I have a single processor server with two 10K RPM 18GB hard drives. This machine will take over e-mail duties from an old P1 4GB machine. Given that I will be running FreeBSD, qmail-1.03, POP3 (no IMAP), and maybe Apache what would be the best partition configuration. We are currently serving 15,000 e-mails a day and the company is growing. I was thinking something like this: Disk 1 - / 500MB swap 256 MB /var 500MB /usr ~16GB Disk 2 - /home 18GB Maxwell Clark Site Architect, eMind.com p: 310/823.6692 f: 801/761.0926 e: max.clark@eMind.com Visit us @ http://www.eMind.com Knowledge * Vision * Success This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

If I remember correctly, the Promise cards and built in controllers are not OS transparent, only devices like ArcoIDE and 3ware (http://www.3ware.com/index.shtml) are OS transparent. Mike Smith would be able to provide a better answer tho. Max Clark wrote: > I am also aware of the promise IDE controllers. I assume that these are > transparent to the OS? -- -Jason J.
