Re: [asterisk-users] Suggestion of Server Specifications for Asterisk
Benny is right, if writes are smaller than the stripe size, there is no gain in speed in using raid5. Not only, but you can have lower performance than a single disk. The ramdisk can be a good idea, but if the load is somewhat constant, you end only moving the slow write ahead of time. 200 calls at 64kbit/s are just 1.5 Mbyte/s ... even the slowest disk can accomplish this.

The extX family of file systems probably will not be clever enough to try to unfragment the writes; they will likely all end up in one long fragmented stream. This is exactly what you want if you do not expect to actually listen to more than a small fraction of the recordings. If you do expect to listen to most of the recordings, copying them after they have been written is a great idea. Especially if you have an off-peak time where the disk is idle anyway, or by placing them on RAM-disk if you can afford to lose some. Frankly I would not worry too much, just use reasonably modern hardware with support for write barriers, enable write caching, use a not-too-clever filesystem, and go RAID-1 on just two disks. You could make a ridiculously fast system with NILFS2 and SSD though... /Benny -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
