Just wondering if this is a setting we should use if using a hardware raid array or SCSI drives (single disk). How has it improved over CFQ?

And how would you test the performance? I assume one of your engineers did test and that's why this is a suggested setting. Was that testing done on a single disk or RAID array?

I really don't have an answer (I wish I did). We do not have the resources to test a bunch of configs and hardware. We point people to the anticipatory scheduler based on our limited testing with Dell hardware and a very simple SCSI RAID array.

Your best bet is to do some testing. We have a load test tool that can simulate Flash load so you can see how different hardware/software configs perform. That is how we test our performance. You can get the load test tool at http://www.wowza.com/forums/content.php?122.

Say i've got a dual quad core server.
Do I enter 2x8 or 16 in ProcessorCount?

Enter "16"

For Mac is Java 6 only supported on Mac OS X 10.5 with 64-bit only? Do you know if Java 6 is supported on Mac OS X 10.6 64-bit only or does it support 32-bit too?

Thanks,

Derrick

Both 32-bit and 64-bit should work fine.

Hi Charlie,

I haven't seen an option to install Java 6 on 10.5.8 on 32-bit. The highest I could get is java version 1.5.0_24. Will that still work for Wowza 2?

Derrick

It will work but it not suggested.

Thanks Charlie for the reply. Do you know of a way to get Java 6 onto Mac OS X 10.5?
