Another example of why I shouldn't trust my memory. Per the
hardware tech:
OS: /dev/sda is RAID1 - 2 x 2.5" 15k SAS disk
pg_xlog: /dev/sdb is RAID1 - 2 x 2.5" 15k SAS disk
These reside on a ServeRAID-MR10k controller with 256MB BB cache.
data: /dev/sdc is RAID5 - 30 x 3.5" 15k SAS disk
These reside on the DS3200 disk subsystem with 512MB BB cache per
controller and redundant drive loops.
At least I had the file systems and options right. ;-)
