I was thinking of going Raid 0 to increase the active spindles. But, come to think about it, if I go to FreeBSD I really do not need to go that route, since I can use a symlink and, as suggested, move the logs to another spindle. I was also wary of the Raid 0 approach - specially since last year I had 2 drives in a Raid 5 fail within 5 minutes of each other! Assuming that presently the server's capability as far as drives is 3 drives, would you recommend doing a RAID-1 on 2 drives and an additional non RAIDed drive to hold the WAL? Anything else which shold be moved to the other spindle? Any recommendations when building the kernel (FreeBSD 6.0)? Regards, Benjamin
