I've got a system that needs mysql running on it, i am using zfs.
It's running 7.2 current.
I was wondering if the zfs best practices guide applies to freebsd as well, i understand that it was originally written for opensolaris.
My main concern is this: I have a few sites with mysql databases, none of them are especially LARGE yet but they do get used often. Right now i'm running it with all default settings. I'd like to tune it some because i'm getting some lag and i'm pretty sure it's due to the database. All of my databases are currently myisam.
According to the opensolaris tuning guide i should set max ARC lower and set the zfs record size to match the mysql block size.
Is there anything else i need to do? does this still hold true for freebsd? i can't find a lot of information on mysql + zfs + freebsd. Also, does it matter than i run everything on one machine (mysql, apache and php)
thanks for any help.
