Has anyone successfully setup Bill's toaster with SATA RAID? A year or two
ago we setup a toaster with a two drive 3ware IDE RAID mirroring setup and
the performance was awful. Maybe it was because we didn't have write
caching enabled on the RAID controller or should have tweaked the kernel
settings.
I looked at Bill's proposed setup for an ISP but we're just trying to do
this for a single server setup. The only solution we've been able to come
up with in the past is to have a single small drive for booting, /var/qmail
and /var/logs and run SATA RAID for /home/vpopmail and everything else. But
we'd really like to have RAID running for the qmail queue since that's what
beats the hell out of a hard disk.
Any recommendations or experiences anyone?
