Dear all, I always have been told (S/P)ATA disks should somehow be avoided in server systems. This mainly because the high rate of interrupt requests generated by the IO subsystem will constantly interrupt the CPU which then becomes unavailable for other server tasks. SCSI disks should be preferred mainly for that reason. Can someone confirm this statement? FYI, we have to upgrade one of our development machine - hence the question. This machine is mainly used to run unattended software builds -> moves large quantity of small files and requires lots of CPU. (sorry if my question is "stupid" or has already been asked many times - but couldn't find any hint anywere) Thanks _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
