The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Ward, Michael" <address@concealed>]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for the disk configuration of the Sympa server? I’m running Sympa 5.2.1 on Red Hat Linux ES 4. The hardware platform is an old HP Proliant DL380 G0, with four SCSI disk slots.

I have two mirrored volumes, 2 x 9Gb for the OS and 2 x 36Gb for ‘data’. Currently I have mapped /home/sympa to the ‘data’ volume, so the entire Sympa folder is located on the 2 x 36Gb drives. However I’m not sure this is a good idea, as if the archives fill up the volume, then Sympa itself will likely die.

So I’m thinking I’ll just map the /home/sympa/arc folder to the ‘data’ volume and leave the rest on the OS volume. Is this how other people are doing it? Are there any recommendations for this kind of thing?

Thanks!

Michael
