Hello,

I have an idea about setting up 1 machine that contains the var-directory (RAID5 for 
backup, etc). Then I mount the var directory from 2 (to explain now :>) other servers, 
via NFS, and run mysqld on those.

My question : is this going to work ? I mean, will mysqld allow me to have a shared 
/var/ directory for all databases inside ? I want load-balancing, cause my server 
can't handle the pressure good anymore.

database-01 IN A 192.168.0.101
database-01 IN A 192.168.0.102

192.168.0.101: (running mysqld)
192.168.0.100:/opt/database/mysql/var /opt/database/mysql/var

192.168.0.102: (running mysqld)
192.168.0.100:/opt/database/mysql/var /opt/database/mysql/var

192.168.0.100: will be NFS-mounted by the 2 mysqld machines

And how to configure MySQL with RAID(5) (3 disks, 1 spare) ? Is --with-raid anough, 
and everything will go automatically good ? I don't have to use other table-types then 
MyISAM ?

Thanks for any input :>
