I've been told that InnoDB on a raw partition is the fastest setup.

Actually, you've been told that it's probably the fastest.

Correct. Sorry :)


Check the InnoDB docs.  They explain how to setup raw disk
partitions.  You'll be using device names, not mount points.

Thanks. I forgot to check the manual.


Any other tips, pros and cons?

Pros: performance and bypassing the filesystem cache.


Cons: loss of transparency and limited backup options.

What do you mean by transparency?


Thanks for your help,
Jacob
