Hi Guys,
Looking for hints on the best (recommended) partitioning of the file system
IT looks like all should be on 1 mounted file system.Am I wrong?
Cheers,
Giammaria
Hi Giammaria
There's nothing really unusual about Apigee Edge for filesystem usage, as compared to any other software product. There will be different directory trees:
Most customer installations I have seen keep the log files in a separate filesystem from the distribution, and from the configuration. Some customers keep the data in a separate filesystem. There are some recommendations for sizing of storage, here, but that document does not mention partitioning.
Maybe @Maudrit or @Paul Mibus have some comment or hints.
Most installations are contained in a single volume/filesystem. There can be some marginal performance benefit to isolating certain files such as transaction logs and service log files, but it is much easier to scale out by adding additional hosts in most cases. In addition, the typical VM setup uses disks that live on a shared storage backend, so adding additional VM disks will not effectively increase performance.
I recommend ensuring that /opt or /opt/apigee is on a filesystem that is separate from the root filesystem, as this will ensure that the application doesn't accidentally fill up the root filesystem and crash the server.
