Dear all, i'm setting up a new machine to handle a webserver with mysql web directory contains alot of small files and database is around 15 GB i've did a bit research, read alot of articles.. mainly i came up with the understanding that: EXT3 is the set it and forget it kind of filesystem. and reiserFS is the best choice for small files though there's a bigger risk of data loss upon power failure (better solved in ext3) any advice on this matter? or any other filesystem you advise me to use on a production system? thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It's stable and works well even with power failures. I'd rather sacrifice a bit of performance (does ReiserFS really improve performance *that* much?) than lost data. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532
Hello! You can look at xfs: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/ I think this benchmarks help you: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ext4_benchmarks&num=2 I use this file system for MySQL with a big DB on Software RAID. This file system shows good perfomance for small files. 2010/10/3 Roland RoLaNd <r_o_l_a_n_d at hotmail.com>> Dear all, > > i'm setting up a new machine to handle a webserver with mysql > > web directory contains alot of small files and database is around 15 GB > > i've did a bit research, read alot of articles.. > mainly i came up with the understanding that: > > EXT3 is the set it and forget it kind of filesystem. > and reiserFS is the best choice for small files though there's a bigger > risk of data loss upon power failure (better solved in ext3) > > any advice on this matter? or any other filesystem you advise me to use on > a production system? > > thanks > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > >-- Best regards, Eugene Kilimchuk <ekilimchuk at gmail.com> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
