RE: CPUs NOT getting consumed ?

        Reminds me of the time I started a new job, found the entire production database and all the software on one pair of 32Gb disks, with the remaining 14 of 16, 32Gb drives, completely empty. I said to the manager, the two disks are going nuts and the DB is suffering very badly. All I got back was, well the admin said that was the best layout to ensure fast streamed backups and anyway aren't the lights supposed to flash quite quickly?

True story - I am at this very moment sitting in front of a server at client
site which has:

- 8Gb RAM
- 4 x 3.4Ghz Xenons

Achilles or the turtle?



and ... wait for it...

1 (mirrored) 300G disk.

Its fair to say that CPU's are certainly not getting consumed here.... 



[Mladen Gogala] Please, tell me that OS is separated to the additional

drive...at least that.
