|I tend to put heavily used slices toward the center. For db servers, I |
| 6 |
|usually do something like. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
if you are talking about ide drives, then you should put heavily used |
| 9 |
slices at the beginning of the drive |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
my two cents: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
for terminal server, go for 4 harddrives (2 controllers of course), 2 |
| 14 |
in raid1 for 'static' data like applications, 2 in raid0 for home |
| 15 |
directories, workspace, etc ... |
| 16 |
on raid1, start with boot, then some swap and make sure you have |
| 17 |
enough memory not to use swap most of the time |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
then put /opt, and tweak your installation so that the most used |
| 20 |
applications are installed there; |
| 21 |
use /usr, /etc, /bin, /var, /tmp only to hold the basics, put all real |
| 22 |
stuff in /opt (or any other separater directory ...) and so that it |
| 23 |
uses raid0 for storing app data |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
if you have enough memory and a proper configuration, access time of |
| 26 |
the data stored in /usr, /etc, /bin, /var, /tmp, ... is not really |
| 27 |
important |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
raid0 needs regular backup, so make sure that the frequency |
| 30 |
corresponds to the cost of a data loss |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
well, end don't expect that a good layout gives you much better |
| 33 |
performance |
| 34 |
it can help you not to loose performance over the time, but there is |
| 35 |
no magic involved |
| 36 |
|
