Question about linux box
We are setting up our first colo Linux box using centos 4.4 since we have usually worked with windows. Wondered if there was anything different in the settings.
We plan on using plesk control panel running 3 oscommerce stores and one forums
This is the configuration
Super Micro 6015B-3V server
2 - Woodcrest 5130 Dual
4gigs memory
SuperMicro ZCR card with 256mg
4 – Hitchi 74 gig 15K SAS Drive
As we told you we will be running Centos 4.4 and we never setup a linux box before. So I have a couple questions.
1) Should we configure this in 64bit or 32bit?
2) Should we set this up in a RAID 10 4 drives or RAID 5 3 drives + 1hotspare for best performance and security?
3) The SAS card for best performance on Centos what should the below settings be?
Stripe size?
Read Caching - Yes or no
Write Caching - Enable Always or Enable with battery or disable ??/
Thanks for any adviceLast edited by ePower; 09-23-2006 at 08:09 PM.
