Nope, use all 6 disks in the RAID 1+0. That way you get more
throughput. I like things easy, so I would just create a root
partition that eats up almost all of the space, then a second small
(2GB) swap area. That way you don't have to worry about running out of
disk space if you make a particular partition too small.<br>

Thanks to everyone who has responded to my post. I like the RAID 1+0 idea.
I was originally planning on running the OS, and database separate from each
other. How should I proceed with the install.
Would it be best to run the OS as RAID 1 (2 disks) as originally planned,
and run the database on RAID 1+0 (4 disks)?
Or, should I run the whole thing (OS & Database) on one huge RAID 1+0?
Thanks,
Robert De Mars
