I've been thinking on this subject before, I'm setting up a 2 TB storage server
and I would like some advice on how would be the best way to setup the
disks (it's a 12*200GB array, single logical unit RAID5). Not that I don't trust
ext3, but some feedback would help. This is sort of untopic, so please don't reply
to the list.

Regards,
Omar
