Hi, I hope this isn't a FAQ, I did do a little searching first... I'm looking at using a couple of large disks to mirror a system which currently has a few different filesystems; I'll use partitions on the disks to contain the different fileystems. It looks like I could mirror sda and sdb, and partition the resulting md_d0. Or, I could partition sda and sdb, and create mirrors md0, md1, etc from the partitions on the underlying disks. Is there any technical reason to choose one method vs the other? It seems to me that perhaps on a system with several active partitions from the same disk, partitioning a single large raid device might allow better read balancing?
