Back to my 12 terabyte fileserver, I have decided to split the storage
into four partitions
each of 3TB. This way I can choose between XFS and EXT3 later on.
So now, my options are between the following:
1. Single 12TB /dev/md0, partitioned into four 3TB partitions. But how do
I do this? fdisk won't handle it. Can GNU Parted handle partitions this big?
2. Partition the raw disks into four partitions and make
/dev/md0,md1,md2,md3.
But am I heading for problems here? Is there going to be a big
performance hit
with four raid5 arrays on the same machine? Am I likely to have dataloss
problems
if my machine crashes?
Thanks for listening...
