I am setting up a new server and have a question. This server has three 8GB SCSIs, and one 160 GB IDE. I was interested in striping the SCSIs, which I have done. After installing FreeBSD 7 on the IDE, I set up the stripe and moved /var over to it. So, my first question would be whether I should put /var on the stripe or /usr ? My next question might be whether it was even worth striping the SCSI's and just installing, say, /var/log to one drive, /usr/home to another, etc.... Final question, assuming I go ahead with putting /var on the SCSI's, how do I now recover the partition that was being used by /var? There's about 3 Gb on there. Perhaps I could just mount it as /usr/ports? or should I choose a different approach? Thanks for any input. OH! BTW. This is going to be a backup server using BackupPC, so I will be installing an additional IDE later.
