Hi all,

I have a Promise SX6000 card and i juste have bought 6x160 GB HDs that=20
make a 800 GB RAID-5 array.
I was wondering wich filesytem I should use (ext3/reiserfs/xfs/jfs/...)=
,=20
if I should make one or more partitions and wich stripe block size to=20
use knowing that:

- it will be mainly a file-server with mp3s, divx, pictures (1 to 4MB=20
each) and some files (openoffice, ...) all shared with Samba.
- it will have a small postgresql database

If someone need more information in order to determine the stripe block=
=20
size or else, just ask ;)

Thanks a lot, (sorry for bad english)
