Re: MySQL support for AMD64

I don't have your configuration but I do have 2 servers running with 3ware controllers (800 or so megs in RAID 5 on each). They are stable and performance is good. I don't run MySQL on these however. I also have an AMD64 box running Fedora/AMD64/MySQL and everything is stable. My AMD64 box is not a production box (sadly I usually buy DELL for servers and they may never offer an Opteron solution).

There are others on the list who can tell you what you need to know about running high end MySQL installs but I can tell you RAID5 is probably going to limit your performance. Also you might want to calculate the possible size of indeces as that can affect how much ram you really need.

I just received a box with the following specs:

Dual AMD64
8G ram
Two 3ware 2.4 terabyte RAID 5 arrays.

My company has been using Redhat for most of its production machines.

1. Does anyone have any success/horror stories running MySQL 4.0.x
on RHES 3/ AMD64?

2. Does anyone have alternate recommendations for running MySQL
databases in the terabyte range on AMD64?

Thanks
