A question about RAID and partitions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I am about to begin the installation of a small server (no more than 20 users), using CentOS with Samba to authenticate Windows XP workstations. A question arises about the organization of the filesystem. I hope that more experienced and knowledgeable users here will be able to give me some precious advice.

I have 2 120GB SATA disks on which to install the OS. I want to create the following partitions:

/boot
/
/tmp
/var
/home
/swap

Two options are now present to me:

- Create a single RAID 1 device with both entire disks and then partition on top - Create several RAID devices, one for each partition (md0, md1, md2 and so forth)

Which one would be better from the points of view of performance, security and data recoverability?

Thank you!
