So, I'm installing/about to install Alfresco onto a Linux box (Ubuntu). I have a huge RAID array to be used for Alfresco, but the liveCD I have here doesn't support RAID5 on the onboard RAID controller. So I'll use software RAID. No, it's nowhere near as good, but it'll get what we need.
So I can create the software raid partition without any issues. But I am not sure where I should mount it. All the database stuff is stored in the database, which exists under /var/ I assume. But will the files that people store on the server go here as well? Do they go into the database, or just into some other directory?
Basically, where should I mount my huge partition? At the moment I'm leaning towards /opt, and then installing Alfresco under /opt as well.
