Different drives, best performance

Hello.

Here are some stupid noobs questions.

I'm trying to configure LXC containers to work on the old Dell server.

I have PERC 6/i RAID controller there, 8 drives. The plan is to use 2 mirrored drives for the system and LXC containers and some drives with RAID 10, for data (files and Postgres databases).

For LXC I've created thin volume with some LVs on it, formatted them with ext4 and mounted to /var/lib/vz/images with "barrier=0" option. This is because I heared that using of a raw images for LXC is working faster.

For files and databases I'm using thin volume with several LVs, ext4.

One of my containers will work as XRDP server with specially configured Wine on it. This is for the old ERP system, working good with this Wine version. The ERP system is file-based, so it's data will store on my RAID 10 LV. I've mounted this LV on my host to /mnt/files with "barrier=0" and added it as mp0 to my container with /var/lib/wine mountpoint.

So here is the question: I think, this scheme is too complicated. And I don't shure, the performance will be good enough, on this system. So is there something, I need to change?
