I was thinking of going Raid 0 to increase the active spindles. But,
come to think about it, if I go to FreeBSD I really do not need to go
that route, since I can use a symlink and, as suggested, move the logs
to another spindle.
I was also wary of the Raid 0 approach - specially since last year I had
2 drives in a Raid 5 fail within 5 minutes of each other!
Assuming that presently the server's capability as far as drives is 3
drives, would you recommend doing a RAID-1 on 2 drives and an additional
non RAIDed drive to hold the WAL? Anything else which shold be moved to
the other spindle?
Any recommendations when building the kernel (FreeBSD 6.0)?

Benjamin
