Hello Folks, I am looking for information in regards to the best way to optimize disk in ATS. I understand that the application uses raw disks however what is the best way to lay out those disks? Is it best to have more than one cache disk? I am inclined to put up more than one hardware raid5 volume and then format them as raw disks for ATS to make use of. Is there a "rule of thumb" when it comes to disk sizing? What block size is best (large of small)? For example if you have to large of a disk(s) will that slow down ATS as it must spend time keeping track of very large caches?
Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Regards -- Chris Beaver UNIX Systems Administrator, ITS - Algonquin College 1385 Woodroffe Ave Ottawa, ON K2G 1V8 email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> phone: (613) 727-4723 x 5385 fax: (613) 727-7719
