OK, little advice. Getting ready to order a Dell Poweredge 2300 machine
to run qmail and about 35,000 pop accounts on.
Like some advice on the setup of the disks:
Base machine will be dual 400 with 512MB RAM running RH 5.2
My questions are about the mail spool and queue areas.
My thoughts have been dual-controller DPT card (32MB cache onboard)
with 4 9GB drives on one channel for the mailboxes and operating system
and on the
other channel a really fast 2 to 4.5GB SCSI drive for the queue. Anyone
see
any problems with this?
Is it better to put the queue drive on a separate SCSI controller?
Besides this,
is it better to get a caching RAID card and run the queue on a RAID 0
configuration?
Any advice from the field would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Sean Rietze
