RE: Why put logs away from rootdbs?

I think it really bores down to the physical disk spindles - if you can split your physical and logical logs off onto different disks, you will have better performance. These logs are used intensely, and you don't want other data to share the same disks. Well, you can share disks, but for best performance you should split and keep these logs separate. -----Original Message----- From: owner-informix-list@iiug.org [mailto:owner-informix-list@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Andy Kent Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2004 2:19 PM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Why put logs away from rootdbs? What are the reasons why Informix keeps on about moving your logical and physical logs away from rootdbs? Surely if the whole instance is going into a single RAID 1+0 array it doesn't make any difference? OK, a bit more to glean from onstat -D perhaps, but is there any other benefit? In a rare break with tradition for me, this is a REAL, IN-USE email address.
