Hi Tom Caching is a good thing and I recommend to have the disks in RAID 1 instead of RAID 0: it's better to keep the server up and running without having to mirror if a hard drive fails. RAID 1 can be enough for a 1 Gbit uplink depending on your disks. The server is nothing else than dumb storage which handles small files and big files. The highest CPU usage is according to our monitoring software 8% ; I think that this isn't caused by the webserver but probably by rsync or updating.

I was thinking 32G RAM and maybe 600G (2x300G) in RAID0. I figure I need the spindles and read speed more than I need redundancy; I can always just re-mirror the content. _______________________________________________ CentOS-mirror mailing list CentOS-mirror at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-mirror
