Any suggestions to a "sensible" number of advfs volumes in a doma in?

We are about to add some XP Storage to our Tru64 fileserver.

We have been told that the optimal configuration is to present small volumes, maximum of 100 Gbytes
>From managing our users files, we are reasonably happy with this but from the point of view of advfs this could
mean advfs domains with 5 - 10 disks.

Are there any issues with advfs to be aware of?

For example all the data logging Ive been told is on the first disk in the domain, so if the number of
disks increases in a domain is there an increase in performance overhead?

 In terms of data integrety all the disks are presented from mirrored sets from the XP, so in theory at least this is not an issue

So what we need then is a sensible number rather than a O/S maximum number of volumes in an advfs domain

Thanks

Chris Cooke
