Hi Everyone,

Does anybody know what is the optimum (best performance and reliability) size 
for disk pool and database volumes.

Is it better to have one big volume (500GB example) or 5x100GB. Here we are 
talking around 1TB of RAID5 size on Win2k server. All volumes would reside on 
the same RAID 5 array and on 1 channel on IBM 4MX 160 RAID controller.
Same question for db volumes; size of volume vs. number of volumes.

Thanks,
