One advice I would give you is to separate the OS from the DATA, like: 2x drives RAID1 for OS, and message injection (postfix/spamfilter/virus filter), and RAID1 or RAID10 for the database storage, I have RAID1 for OS, RAID1 for DATA, with 200GB, no problem, Xeon E31230, 12GB RAM Linux RAID, not Hardware, I'll only insert HW raid when I'll have more usage, _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.fastxs.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
