Greetings,
I am in the process of implementing a fairly large mysql server for
an even larger company, and naturally i want to use FreeBSD. The
hardware will be an HP DL385, 2 x dual-core Opterons, 16GB RAM, 7 x 15k
rpm disks in a RAID5 setup. I'm not exactly informed as to the specific
workload yet, however i know the database will have several million rows
and be larger than 10GB.
So, first of all, am i crazy for choosing fbsd+mysql for this rather
than something like Solaris + Oracle? :) Secondly, i am just looking for
some suggestions, opinions, success/failure story's that may help me
out. Is anyone out there using FreeBSD for something of this size? I am
hoping that everything will work out well, and the client will be happy.
This would generate some good PR for FreeBSD, as it is a very large
international company and it would be the first FreeBSD server (that i
know of) of this type there.
Thanks, any input will be appreciated.
