Thanks, Scott.

Just to clarify you said:

Is that meant to be that the pg_xlog and all OS and logging stuff go
on the RAID-1 and the real database (the
/var/lib/postgresql/8.3/main/base directory) goes on the RAID-10
partition?

This is very helpful. Thanks for your feedback.

Additionally are there any clear choices w/ regard to filesystem
types? Our choices would be xfs, ext3, or ext4.

Is anyone out there running ext4 on a production system?
