Subject:   Vinum: Best performance from mirror setup with two disks
Message-ID:  <19990903232137.9612.qmail@camelot.bitart.com>

Hi,

I have read everything I could find about vinum (man pages, recent questions  
Mailing list, Vinum intro) but I am still not quite sure:

What is the best performing setup to get mirroring with two disks?

I understand that I just set up one plex per disk. Write performance goes  
down due to double writes, read performance goes up since vinum will  
alternate reads between the plexis.

What I don't quite understand is if striping gives me an added advantage in  
this scenario.

Thanks

Gerd
