I'm curious about the reasoning behind setting up different partitions; what
prompted you to do that? How is having different partitions affecting the
performance (ie the physical head movements of the disks)?

On a side note, using a hardware RAID, does anyone have benchmarks between
the performance of a RAID 5 and a RAID 10 (1 + 0)?
