my servers generally have 2 disks mirrored for the OS, then 2 or more
disks in a raid for the application file systems, be they databases, web
files, NFS shared data, or whatever. I generally make the OS raid an
LVM volume, then allocate /, /var, swap, and maybe /home out of that.
depending on what I'm doing, the data raid is probably also a LVM volume
group, and would have things like /var/www, /var/lib/pgsql/9.0/data, as
logical volumes, possibly /home, depending on usage patterns.
but, my workloads are often disk IO intensive. Your Mileage May Vary.
Objects In Mirror May Be Closer Than They Appear. Caveat Emptor. etc etc.
