Note that it can often be advantageous to have one big physical
partition on RAID-10 and to then break it into logical partitions for
the computer, so that you have a partition with just ext2 for the WAL
and since it has its own file system you usually get better
performance without having to actually hard partition out a separate
RAID-1 or RAID-10 for WAL.
