Hi Josh,

To be honest, I don't think 1) SATA 2) Software RAID1 is going to cut it. I think you'll bottleneck on the drives. If you want good performance and redundancy look at spending a few extra bucks on SAS drives and either RAID 01 or RAID 10.

Hi,

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I'm looking moving our
mailboxes across to dbmail (about 10,000 users) and I'd like to know if
there are any tips for configuring the MySQL server / dbmail to be able
to handle this load? I am using MySQL version 5.0.32 on linux 2.6.18.
Am I better to use innodb with a raw partition for its data or is there
a preferred filesystem to put this on (ext3 / xfs / reiserfs?).

To get high availability I want to use drbd over a gigabit network link.
From my experience this shouldn't affect performance too much. On each
server I have a pair of SATA hard disks in a software RAID1.

If anyone can give me a few pointers or send me some urls of info I'd
really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Josh.
