Hmm, this is potentially interesting. We're using PERC 6/i with 4 x 10k 2.5 146GB drives in RAID10. I currently do a straight-forward CentOS install onto the logical drive, creating two partitions, one small one for /boot and the other across the rest of the disk which I make an lvm PV and slice it up using lvm. The main performance bottleneck for us is write performance for MySQL. Could I get better performance by doing things differently? I suppose(!) alignment doesn't matter that much (or at all) for RAID10 (which is the right choice for DB loads with only few disks). But that's just my gut feeling. If write performance is the bottleneck, you might want to consider an external file system journal (on SSD, preferably). But I've only heard/read that it helps and I don't know about MySQL tuning.

If your filesystem blocks aren't aligned with the chunk boundaries, you're going to need two disks to seek to satisfy some read requests, and four disks for some write requests. Right. These disks could be doing other stuff instead of reading one another RAID chunk. So better always align to stripe size.

Re: ordering a T610: what options?
Hi Louis, *never* order via online shop. Always get a Dell sales person to talk to. Just tell them what you want, then let them send you an offer. The price difference is significant (and the Online configurator IMO has been sucking for years). A sales rep obviously has access to a lot more configurations (and the knowledge which one to choose). To answer one of your questions: You may either just order 8 small disks from Dell if you don't want to pay their premium prices or you could get the trays from somewhere else (there are other sources on the net). Getting empty drive trays from Dell has turned out impossible in the past. HTH, Tino.
