Re: New server: SSD/RAID recommendations?

Yikes. I would not be able to sleep tonight if it were not for the BBU cache in front of these disks...

diskchecker.pl consistently reported several examples of corruption post-power-loss (usually 10 - 30 ) on unprotected
M500s/M550s,so I think it's pretty much open to debate what types of madness and corruption you'll find if you look
closeenough.

fsync'ddata? If you write to file A and fsync it, then write to another file B and fsync it too, is it guaranteed that
ifB is persisted, A is as well? Because if it isn't, you can end up with filesystem (or database) corruption anyway.
