We are planning to have a new server, and it can be a Dual Pentium III
server, with 512 RAM, and RAID 5 controller with 2 X 18 giga drives to
serve about 12,000 email account @ 2 M for our students, and web space
about @1 M,
My question is, can linux handle this so large system, especially from the
inode problem.
Can by doing this
echo "16384" > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
echo "65536" > /proc/sys/fs/inode-max
solve the inode problem then ?
Or should we use like NetBSD or FreeBSD ?
Beside that, as we want to give web space too for the students, can mysql
handle this heavy load, because we want to make the password for web and
mail the same, so my plan is using vpopmail + mysql, and proftpd + mysql,
so they will share the same database password, and when users change their
email password, they change their FTP password at the same time.
Thanks.
