4.1.5 Assigning an OpenTP1 file system

You can improve efficiency and reliability by creating OpenTP1 file systems with a disk assigned to each type of file.

If you create each type of file on a different disk, the cost (for the disks) increases, but efficiency and reliability also increase. If you create the entire file system on one disk, the cost decreases, but reliability also decreases because if the disk become unusable, all the files become unusable.

To create the most appropriate file system, the OpenTP1 administrator needs to decide on the basis of a variety of factors including cost, operability, efficiency, and reliability.

The following are typical factors to consider when deciding how to organize files:

The OpenTP1 administrator needs to consider the above factors, and decide the most appropriate file system on the basis of performance, reliability, cost, and operability considered as a whole.
