Image Hosting

[Dennis Jacobfeuerborn]

Ah, sorry I somehow didn't catch that last line with the actual HW setup.

If my math skills don't fail me (and they very well might) the traffic and 
image size data mean that you serve about 300 images per second.
Can you post a few lines of vmstat output and perhaps the output of "iostat 
-d 60 2"?

Also how are the hits distributed across the whole pool of images? Are 
these hits truly random or are some images hit significantly more often 
than others?

More ram would obviously take some pressure off the disks if they are 
really the problem.

Regards,
   Dennis
