To be honest, I don't think 1) SATA 2) Software RAID1 is going to cut

I agree with Stephen. How many servers are there? Maybe a SAN with SCSI
or SAS drives would make even more sense in that case. They'll be
sitting in the same rack anyway. Correct?
Quoting Josh Marshall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
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?).
IIRC it was possible to give InnoDB a raw partition and it would live on
it happily by itself, so you would loose the operating system's
filesystem overhead. Alas I have never done that with mysql/InnoDB, only
Informix. So I don't know how much if at all it helps.
Also, 10k users would be POP3 only or do they have IMAP too? How many
servers and with what configuration have you planned? I'm just curious
here, as my biggest dbmail install is only ~600 IMAP users.
HTH,
Alex
