Well I gotta say, moving #MastodonAU 's database to a pure SSD storage backend has made a massive difference. Whooohoo, she's much faster!
The storage servers are a pair of #Dell R640s, with 2x Gold 6150 (2.7GHz 18 Cores each) and 256GB of RAM.
Each one has 8 x 1TB SSDs, in a #ZFS raidz2 pool, and they automatically replicate between themselves.
I am doing my best to avoid any more visits from the #fuckup-fairy
Now to finish #MastodonNZ
