A straight mirror slows things down, though probably not enough for us to notice (I was thinking more of the other things you are doing with your server) and I think you really should be looking at server drives (like the WD 10k drives with a MTBF in excess of a million hours.

I agree on the drive quality, which is why I'm going with the RE4s (1.2m hour MTBF).  I'm wavering on the mirror, though.  As you say, it will slow the system down some, and I don't think it buys much with a regular off-system backup in place.

I don't seem to be getting emails when I receive a PM now...

Oh, that would be because I forgot to install a mail server. :P

That'd be a good reason. :D

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

So you can't email other posters ?

I've tried it, the message appears to be sent, but it never arrives at the recipient, is this fixable ? :unsure:

Did we ever get a mail server for email notifications of PMs and the like?

every now and then I can't access the forum, it seems to time out.  Anything can be done about that?
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

This place is running, for me at least, like shit. So I'm assuming a crash is coming and will see you all soon at Tamas' gypsy wagon.
