I'm setting up a new R100 and I'm hoping someone can clarify a few things for me:
1. I was told by a NetApp sales engineer to reserve 4 disks for spares. This sounded like overkill to me. Does anyone have an opinion about this?
2. After the NearStore disks are right sized, how much usable space is left?
3. Is it a bad thing to have the root volume contain data? I will be using the NearStore to store radiology images. The image files are large, static files.
