Hi all, Thanks a lot for the many replies; over the weekend I have been incommunicado, hence the late reply. I have forwarded the relevant e-mails to the person who asked me for this inquiry, and I think he should have enough information in order to choose a good hardware set-up. I'll try to get him to buy one of those 9500S-4 controllers, and then I can rest assured that I'll be able to set it up without too many surprises. ;) Regarding the benchmarking: I'll try to see if I can run it on my live server, the only issue being of course that the results will be polluted, as I can't really take it off-line (or rather: I don't want to). If the test runs quickly I might temporarily kill Sendmail and Apache to eliminate the majority of the user load, and then run it... I'll have a look-see when I have a bit more time. :) Good: AFAIC, FreeBSD amd64 it is, with the 9500S-4 (in RAID-10 mode probably)! :) Cheers! Olafo PS: I will probably reply off-list to some of the specific MySQL tuning/compilation questions...
