Dear all,

I'm trying to setup a development server which hosts a number of virtual hosts.

and i need your advice with the following:

1. What's the best Filesystem to be used with an apache server?

Relevant info:

i. Mysql DB size' 1 GB
ii. Code directory size' 8 GB (Max file size is 5 KB)
2. What's the best file structure to maximize seek time from drives?

Relevant info:

i. 2 X 1 TB SATAII 64MB blk Edition Int HDD
ii. 1 X 320GB

General info:

I have an additional directory which hosts all my code under /Development . this directory has a size of almost 300 GB.
14 Virtual Hosts would be created on the server under /etc/httpd/VHosts/

I was thinking of the following structure:

Drive A (320 GB): OS
Drive B (1 TB): Mysql + /home
Drive C (1 TB): /development + /opt

Would this work? i followed no guidelines with the above setup, it's just using my own logic. so i'd appreciate an expert advice with this.

Thanks,

--Roland
