About Partitioning your RAID
Correct me if I’m wrong….. It’s best to have one volume on a RAID.
Yes or no?
Does it matter either way?We have Sonnet D800 8TB running RAID 5.
I haven’t asked their tech people yet for an opinion,
I thought I’d throw it out to you guys first.
There are no issues with our FCP Sonnet RAID, but we are installing
another one with our upgraded AVID suite and the editor would like to
partition it into 4 volumes. Can anyone see any issues with doing this?Thanks,

We have 4 3.2 TB raids at work and each of them are partitioned into multiple workspaces for different project.
Haven’t had any problems.

Wonder where I heard this was a not a good idea.
I’m I also mistaken that you shouldn’t partition your boot drive?dr

On a MAC I’m not sure, but on a PC I have done it several times with out a problem.

While it doesn’t hurt to partition anything, it doesn’t make much sense either. Folders are a much more flexible concept for organizing things 😉

One reason I partition the boot drive into 2 paritions, one for OSX/APP and one for DATA (for stuff like music libraries, SFX, countdown leaders, large app resources like Apple Loops), is so a complete cloning of the OSX/APP volume/partition goes much faster with the 80BG+ data on it’s own partition.

I’m avoiding giving an answer other than: “umm
