[SLUG] RAID and LVM



Greetings

I want to set up a pair of 1 TB drives on an HP DL145 G3 and I'm looking for suggestions as to the best way to partition them.

Would I be best using software RAID and LVM? Given that it's a fairly busy machine (mail server for 40+ users) I'd like to achieve:

1) Speed
2) Reliability
3) Ease of maintenance.

Anyone care to take a punt at a layout?

TIA

Nigel.
