No raid - two ATA133 drives 80Gb and 500Gb - formatted ext3 partitions.

/var directory is on the big drive and the database is being accessed from there.
Everything else on the smaller drive - / = 8Gb partition - 4Gb swap and the
balance /home
Machine has 4Gb ram and the database is only 100Mb

The next question would be how to do performance testing in Mandriva Linux :)
