David Lowe scribbled this message on Jul 9: > Has anyone here tried INN on an async-mounted spool in production? Joe Greco runs a number of news machines... if I remeber correctly he found the increase the sync interval (kern.update) to something like 300 (5 minutes) will give you near the same performance as mounting the fs's async, but give you the stability of sync mount fs... I would highly recommend anybody thinking about setting up a news server to search the mailing lists for Greco and news to read his postings on the subject... you also might want to look at using cdd to give your spools multiple disks to work on... the more spindles the better.. but make sure that the strip size is 32megs (or whatever the size of a cylinder group is) to get the best performance... hope it helps.. ttyl.. -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
