Hi,
I've two questions:
1) I'm planning on using qmail with Redhat linux for a high-load machine
(hardware raid scsi disks). Now I don't want to know which linux is better,
but I would like to know what extra tuning the operating system requires?
Does hdparm can boost the HW raid I/O performance? Do I need to fiddle in
the /proc VFS for file-max,inode-max and stuff? A guideline for getting the
most out of qmail+linux would be great.
2) I've found many remarks on qmail and reiserfs, but nobody agrees on
wether it's good or bad. So I won't start that here all over again but I
would like to ask:
does anybody use qmail+reiserfs on a high-load production machine? If so,
what OS do you recommend and which extra patches to qmail do you
suggest/apply? Is it running stable, can it survive crashes? How did you
mount/created your reiserfs?
