Hey guys,I have a quick question I am hoping to hit a few of you more experienced toaster admins up about.... I was wondering what people have seen from experience that the toaster (stock, running no mods) tends to use a lot of.. IE IO intensive, CPU, and so on. I have been looking at various specs for the components, but was hoping for more of an answer based on the combination of the oh so wonderful toaster! For example, I am going to be setting up a toaster that is starting with 50 users, but will be scaling up to 500 within the next two years (for a co that is about to go into the prodiuction phase in their industry). They don't see going much past that. I have been googling, but was more so lookign for an answer based on day to day user and experience.
Here you go, probably more stats that you want: http://v2gnu.com/webserver1That's on a production machine with ~125 users. It's running qmail-toaster-1.03-1.3.8 (old version, but no need to upgrade). Only mods are the mailfilter script, probably different RBLs, and some extra SA rules. That's the only bottle-neck I run into on that machine, is with spamd. I've limited the child processes for spamd to 5 children to keep it from swapping and delivering duplicate messages. It also hosts 15 or so websites (all VERY low traffic), and 4-6 FTP accounts, which do get more traffic. I have the users upload via FTP, and a web page setup to view the files via a web browser to make it easier for others to get files from them. The bulk of these users do fall into my "compu-tard" category (they try and email 450M TIFF images and then call me because their Outlook is broken). I also have 1 user who I've kept a tally on, and I've told her 16 times now how to get to the webmail page. Anyway, before I digress more.... Is there any other stats you'd like to see? I generate most of those using sysstat (http://perso.orange.fr/sebastien.godard/man_sar.html) if you're interested.
