[DRBD-user] MySQL-over-DRBD Performance

[Matteo Tescione]

Sorry if already asked, but are you using hardware raid or software raid? If
so, is it raid 5/6 ? I discovered an huge hole in performance like your
reports using that kind of setup. Search in the list for previous posts
about performance solved.

Regards,
