If at all possible play around with the system for one or two weeks before it goes into production. Try different setups, run benchmarks, reinstall and try again. Optimizing the system once it is deployed will be much harder. Things to try: Different RAID levels, different stripe sizes, different filesystems. Use your own benchmark! I.e. if this is a build system do a few heavy compiler runs in parallel. -- Andreas Micklei IVISTAR Kommunikationssysteme AG Ehrenbergstr. 19 / 10245 Berlin, Germany http://www.ivistar.de Handelsregister: Berlin Charlottenburg HRB 75173 Umsatzsteuer-ID: DE207795030 Vorstand: Dr.-Ing.
