Re: dell 1650 perc3/di raid 5 15k rpm performance
I installed the Red Hat kernel and performance was affected some but not much. I now get between 50-56Mb/s but still not close to the 70Mb/s of before. I'm not sure what you mean here "Also did you re-create the RAID device in the process of installing Debian?" if you could explain this to me a little more that would be good. I really like Debian and would like to be able to use it on everything so I need to learn how to optimize this box so it will run as good or better than red hat.

Hi all, I'll be setting up a student mail server, the idea is that each student will have a email (webmail), and their login will let them log in to intranet site as well. So I probably loking on some kind of exim - sql setup? Is there anything ready made out there? What do you guys suggest? Thank you.
Re: dell 1650 perc3/di raid 5 15k rpm performance
I installed the Red Hat kernel and performance was affected some but not much. I now get between 50-56Mb/s but still not close to the 70Mb/s of before. I'm not sure what you mean here "Also did you re-create the RAID device in the process of installing Debian?" if you could explain this to me a little more that would be good. I really like Debian and would like to be able to use it on everything so I need to learn how to optimize this box so it will run as good or better than red hat.

Try one of the following: redhat is known for using kernels that are 'something' different then the base kernel from kernel.org -- what you could do is download the kernel-source rpm from redhat and see/look for driver changes in opposit of the version used in the Debian kernel. update the hardware of your raid adapter... i've had some performance problems with the base 'bios' levels -- when i updated the adapter and device eeproms all the performamce problems were gone. (drivers somtimes assume you have a certain revision of the hardware driver...) -- JJ van Gorkum Knowledge Zone If UNIX isn't the solution, you've got the wrong problem.
