hi
i'm waiting for new server to arrive.
for the server i will get hp msa1000, with 14 discs (72g, 15000 rpm).
what kind of partitioning you suggest, to get maximum performance?
for system things i will have separate discs, so whole array is only for postgresql.

data processing is oltp, but with large amounts of write operations.

any hints?

should i go with 3 partitions, or just 1? or 2?
