Subject: Re: Is there a graph somewhere of performance vs raid group size?

Any reason to leave performance on the table by not configuring all of what you bought in a reasonable manner?

> Simple: Committing all disks to aggregates when you don’t need to squeeze out every last bit of performance locks disks to specific nodes unnecessarily. Then, when you need more disks on a particular node, rather than just moving over disks from an underutilized node, you have to buy new disks or even a new shelf.
