Partitioning Schemes

[Rukie]

I would like your opinions on the best partitioning schemes. I have a 160 gig harddrive, a 114 gig harddrive, a 152gig, a 25gig (somewehre around here...) and a 5.8 gig harddrive, (after initial loss) Are 120, 100, 160, 27, and 6..

I wouldn't mind setting up raid and using the 6 gig as a boot harddrive or something.. I'm just curious how I should partition it, and or set up raid?

I want maximum speed, hard drive failure is not a concern. All harddrives are fairly new (and the last 3 times a haddrive has failed my bios has warned me at least a weak ahead of failure)

Edit:

Also, I want to use Rieserfs with this, but will it work with raid? (And I do not want a flamefest here about rieserfs, I'm using it if it works with raid and thats all that matters) lol
