Hi, using multiple harddisks can increase performance, since I/O can be done in parallel. But what would be an optimal filesystem-layout on, say, two disks of equal size? Swap should evidently be spread equally over the different drives. As for the filesystems, say I'd have a large /usr and /home, each on one harddrive, and smaller /, /var and /tmp which could reside on either disk. / and /usr would be mostly read-only. Any suggestions? GH
