    Hi tuners,

    apart from using RAID, what would be the best way to spread load over
    multiple drives?

    I was thinking about a partition layout like this:
    disk1: /, swap, /var, /usr, /usr/src, /usr/ports
    disk2: /tmp, swap, /home, /var/www, /usr/obj (+ ports-workdirs)

    And would it make sense (if the disks are large enough) to split /usr
    into seperate /usr, /usr/local, /usr/X11R6, etc partitions to reduce
    fragmentation?
