Hello SuSE folkz,
I have two different hard drives.
One of them SCSI UW/2 10K RPM 160 MB/sec and another one just a plain
EIDE 5K RPM hard drive.
I have Linux installed on this slower EIDE hard drive.
Now my question:
If I put only my database directories and web content files on faster
SCSI hard drive will this approach improve or hinder the performance
of the whole system?
Or I should just completely move the whole Linux distro on a faster
HD?
I assume that database and web server daemons are running in the
system's memory. Even if they installed on a slower hardware they need
to be red from its partition only once during start up.
Once they're running in the memory, they can read and write
information on a faster hardware partition which is gonna be
beneficial for the system performance.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank you in advance for any thoughts or ideas.
Alex
