OT- Slightly Formatting large RAIDs
by Warren on Jul 25, 2007 at 4:31:48 pm

I know this is lightly off topic, but as RAIDS grow in size to the terabytes, how are people formatting their RAIDS? By formatting, I don't mean what software, but are you partitioning into smaller volumes or just selecting all the drives and making one huge partition?

In the past with my SCSI RAID, I partitioned each of the eight 36 gig drives in the RAID into a 36 gig partition. Now I am wondering what is the best approach with SATA and Fiber?

TIA,

Warren

Unless your system calls for it, partitioning is really a thing of the past or is necessary for some partially shared storage environments (meaning each computer gets it's own read/write partition and only that computer can write to that partition, but the rest of the computers can read from the other partitions).

One volume should do it as long as your specific hardware does not require partitioning.
