Thanks for the info. The articles were really useful but still seems I have
to do my own testing to find the right page size? I thought for large
indexes there would already be some tests done in SOLR community.
Side note: We are heavily using Microsoft technology (.NET etc) for
development so by looking at all the pros/cons decided to stick with
Windows. Wasn't rude ;)
Assuming you are only going to be putting Solr data on it, or anything
else you put on it will also consist of large files, I would probably go
with a cluster size at least 64KB for an NTFS volume, and I might
consider 128KB or 256KB. There *ARE* a few small files in a Solr index,
but not enough of them for the wasted space to become a problem.
The easiest way to configure Solr to use a different location than the
program directory is to change the solr home.
Thanks,
