AFAIK if the average size of an I/O operation as long as the corresponding variance are low... go for a single RAID10,f2 with a stripe size slightly superior to this average.

If this average size varies upon tables one may create a RAID (with the adequate stripe size) per database partition. -- http://www.makarevitch.org/rant/raid/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
