Having a set of Filers that have been poorly planned and poorly configured, I would ask for a hand from fellow admins about how to proceed. (okay, I know the best way, buy a new cluster of 840's and migrate it all!)
Given that I have 12 "36GB" disks (plus a hot spare) that have been added to one of my filers, should I:
a) Build one large volume and control it's space via qtrees? a1) If so, should I lower the raidgroup size or leave it at 14? b) Build multiple (2? 3? 4?) volumes of smaller size
Pro's & Con's for each approach would be greatly appreciated!
