Here's how cvsup3 is set up:

- Operating system is stored on a Fibre Channel-attached five-disk
RAID-5 set.

- CVS repository is stored on a four-disk stripe set on the same Fibre
Channel RAID controller.

- All of the FTP archive, except for FreeBSD, is stored on another
partition of the same stripe set.  This includes less-popular archives
such as CPAN, CTAN, Tcl, Ruby, X, and so forth.

- The FreeBSD archive is stored on a two-disk stripe set on a pair of
Seagate ST150176LC disks donated by Robert Seastrom, attached to the
server's on-board Adaptec AIC7899 host adapter.  The striping is
accomplished using ccd(4) with an interleave of 2048.  The filesystem
was initialized with 4097 sectors per ``cylinder'', which results in
the metadata being spread evenly over both disks.

I have temporarily upgraded this machine with an extra half-gig of
memory to provide reasonable service during the peak loads expected
for 5.0-RELEASE.
