We spent a lot of time over several years tweaking every setting imaginable, trying to get the performance up of a NFS server, none of which really made any difference. Installing SSDs fixed the problem completely. Disk I/O now stays in the single digit percentage range when previously would stay at 100%, sometimes for minutes.
SSDs about twice the price of 15k rpm drives, hardly out of reach for most. Also for VPSs, server axis 20mb unmetered SSDs are cheaper than slicehost's rotating disk based systems. http://serveraxis.com/vps-ssd.php http://serveraxis.com/vps-ssd.php
- kragen 16y agoYeah, SSDs are going to totally kill 15krpm disks. But killing disks in general is a ways off. In fact, disks might actually be getting cheaper per bit faster than SSDs are.
