Hi, I currently have a freebsd fileserver with just one disk containing mostly large media files, software mirrors and backups. Wanting some experience now with linux raid and LVM I'm building a new system to replace this machine. I know that RAID 5 chunk size can make a big difference and should be tuned based on needs, so I was wondering if anyone has any tips on what I could do to calculate the best chunk size based on my existing filesystem? Also, under what circumstances would you recommend using reiserfs over ext3? Are there any parameters to mke2fs/mkreiserfs that should also be tuned based on the existing filesystem? Thanks, Andy
