Hello List:
System: RH9, MySQL 4.1.7
I am in the process of re-setting up (I have test setup 4-5 times) a data
server with the above software. This server consists of 2-CPU (Intel)
RAID-1, 1-40GB IDE HDD for O/S & 2-250GB IDE HDD for storing data. 250 GB
IDE HDD are mirrored (RAID-1).
Previously, I setup RAID while setting up RH9. Recently, while reviewing the
MySQL, documentation, I noticed the following directive for "configure"
command:
# ./configure –prefix=/usr/local/mysql –with-raid
While researching on GOOGLE, I did find quite a bit of information on "MySQL
RAID HOWTO" search, but nothing to answer my question. Can someone explain
how the aboce directive in "configure" works? In my setup, do I need the
above directive as shown?
It doesn't have anything to do with hardware raid. It enables support
for the RAID table options that allow you to split the data file for
MyISAM tables into several files.
See the description for RAID_TYPE, RAID_CHUNKS, and RAID_CHUNKSIZE
options at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/CREATE_TABLE.html
