All,

9 drives + hot spare

Would you stripe 6 for data and other 3 for indexes, or use one 9-drive volume for both? One side of me says the more spindles the merrier - keep them together, the other side says - separate data and indexes. The third, evil SA side is waiting for the first two to make up their minds...
