Best Harddrive Configuration For Linux Mangos

[Auntie Mangos]

Hi all,

I'm building new server for mangos and I don't know what type of harddrives should I use. I suppose, Raptor should be good choise for its fast RPM. What do you think about RPM (7200, 10000)? And for configuration of drives, should I use one Raptor for OS (openSuSE linux), MySQL, Mangos and maps together, or another configuration? Which part of Mangos server is the most used?

Thank you!

If you are going to have seperate HD I would say keep your OS and MySQL on one and mangosd and realmd on another. This is just my opinion of course. Now as far as to raptor or not to raptor, well that's just a matter of whether you want to spend the extra cash. I think you would be fine with 7200 rpm drives but if you have the cash then go for the 10000 rpm raptors (they are nice .)

Anyone think differently?

Regards,

JD

HINT: Don't forget to tune the filesystem options as well as cache/whatever "in" the HDD itself. For ext3, try playing with journal (using tune2fs) for example. And for the second part - man 8 hdparm .
