2 interesting points here
If this is a single channel controller striping won't offer much performance
advantage over single disks.
( which solves how to configure this box! )
and...
I don't believe you can create a RAIDset greater than 32 GB using a SWXCR.
( which really makes me curious as we were planning on replacing 9's for
18's in the near future on our other 4100's. So I guess I'll have to start
asking around about that.)
I think that the simplest, although least protected, method will be just
JBOD across the board. Now as to using AdvFS or UFS....
got some interesting data on that and there definitely has been a lot of
"opinions" here in this group as well. I think that I'll go with UFS for a
while and see how things go. This is not a final decision as I'm not sure I
like my backup options without vdump/vrestore ( granted it's not the best
but it's easy to script backups! ).
