In the end, running this on an old SUSE-donated machine with a lot of spinning slow disks, is not matching the performance needs of the machine. So there need to be a final and well-engineered solution for this. Which was, until now, always out of scope of any budget.
Does someone have a good understanding what the needs would be?
With a 1Gbit uplink, it takes about 100Mbyte/s to saturate. Thorsten ran some numbers in April showing the actual usage is a less than half that. Daily 200-300Mbit/s with peaks at up to 500Mbit/s, so 50Mbyte/s. Being fairly conservative, I think any modern machine with one array controller (Adaptec 1000 for instance) with 8 drives in RAID6 should easily do the job. Assuming we get e.g. 10Mbyte/s from each drive which should be well within reach even with our random-access pattern. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (27.2°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner@opensuse.org
