SDS Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I was just snooping around our hosting provider's page when I saw a pretty sweet special for a 2nd drive and double RAM. I called to see if current customers can receive the offer and we got a yes! So, early this morning things will shut down and they will add a second hard drive (which I plan to run the databases from and and we'll get another 2 GB of RAM. Christmas in August baby...

todd Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Things run so smoothly now, I can't believe there actually used to be some server performance issues. Hats off to you SDS.

SDS Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 Things run so smoothly now, I can't believe there actually used to be some server performance issues. Hats off to you SDS. a kick in the ass does a body good... Now, I just have to make sure I dump the databases off to the new disk properly and everything can find it. We should see reduced IO wait times when things get hot and heavy. someone correct me if I'm wrong. We aren't running a RAID, just adding another disk that can look for data while the other disk is doing it's thing. I bet I could run the databases on a RAM disk and just rsync them (every 5 minutes ?) to the disk to really speed things up, but any emergency server restart would lose a little bit. That doesn't happen too often if ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Phew. When I read the title, I thought we'd fried something else. Glad to hear it's GOOD news. But yeah, regarding the Rosening of the board, it's still early yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
