Is it a good idea to have one huge partition or it is better to split it on smaller logical drives and then use LVM, for example? In any way, what is a preferred filesystem for this storage? I plan to use it as a mass storage for CFD results. Thanks in advance, Stas. -- Mr. Nikiforov Stanislav Intsitute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 4/1, Institutskaya str., Novosibirsk, 930090, Russia Voice: +7 3832 343163 E-mail: stas@itam.nsc.ru
