dual drives ?

[servertweak]

i like to add another 300 gig sata drive to my server for mysql. would this work for DA ?

Sure. DA doesn't care at all about drive geometry or drive/partition assignments.

You'll have to make sure the new drive is mounted properly, and you'll need to move all the data to the new drive, maintaining the correct ownership and permissions.

You should be able to find a tutorial for adding a new drive on the 'net. Google is your friend.

You only want MySQL data on this seperate harddrive?

There are several ways to do it. You can reconfigure MySQL to look on the new partition/directory for the MySQL data or you can make a symlink of the current data directory to the directory you have moved everything to on the new partition.

As to the MySQL data itself, you can simply move it to the new partition, nothing more than configurnig MySQL where to load the data from is really needed.

Out of curiosity, sata or sata2 and what brand of hard drives are you using?
