Mailscanner Disk Layout - best practice for performance?

[betsys at well.com]

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!
