Need help with disk config.
Greetings;
In the next couple of days I will have a much better
computer. Not 64bit, but at least faster and with more disk.
It will have 4x1TB SATA drives, 4x250GB IDE/PATA drives and
all the memory it can use and a fast AMD socket AM2 processor.
I'd like some suggestions on how to format/allocate the SATA
drives. I imagine that one of them will be the system disk
with the other 3 containing data, but ext2,3,4? Or other
file system. LVM?, Raid?
The IDE/PATA drives are on my existing machine, which is on
its last legs, and contain a mish-mash of mailboxes, web
pages, genealogy files, archives, etc. Probably not worth
worrying about at this time.
Anyway, if you have any recommendations, warnings, or other
guidance, I would appreciate hearing them!
Many TIA!
Dennis
