We're running a beta testing MailScanner with Mailwatch and postfix using
Ubuntu 24 LTS on an AWS M6a.xlarge instance with 16G ram.
Before going live, I want to split out the disks for best performance.
Where do you see the highest disk utilization?
With 16G ram I could squeak out a small ramdisk. Also have the option to go
to provisioned IOPS although that gets expensive fast.
Thanks for any suggestions!
