I am using them as Email Servers, MySQL Server and Radius Server. I am looking to load the Kernels with the Programs from SSD and then storage and logs on Raid 1 conventional HD's. The size of the flash's are: Server 1: (64 meg Flash) Front End for Qmail/ Vpopmail/ Virtual Apache, djsdns, MySQl Client. (No Storage of Logs are kept of this server. All stored on Server 2). Server 2: (64 meg Flash) MySQL Server, NFS and Radius Server. Server 3: (32 meg Flash) Radius Server Server 4: (32 meg Flash) djsdns Sec DNS Server. All data on all the server is stored on Server 2, which includes the djsdns data, radius data, Qmail/ Vpopmail and Apache. I need to be able to create a Flash OS on the size flash stated above and a copy of the flash on a bootable cd incase of emergency! I am looking for a doc or something to help me setup and move the setup to SSD! I have been told to look at http://www.kozubik.com/published/embedded_freebsd_handbook_chapter.txt Looks good, but also looking for feedback regarding specifically regarding the Applications running above, in regard to how they would be affected by using SSD! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks Solomon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
