Disk Configuration

If HTTP access is logged, follow these guidelines for the disk:

• Write access logs on faster disks or attached storage.

• If running multiple instances, move the logs for each instance onto separate disks as much as possible.

• Enable the disk read or write cache. Note that if you enable write cache on the disk, some writes can be lost if the disk fails.

• Consider mounting the disks with the following options, which can yield better disk performance: nologging, directio, noatime.
