Don't put history on ext3, that might slow it down a lot due to the
journal. Put it on ext2.

Did you put the CNFS buffers on an ext3 filesystem as well? That will
hurt, I think.

Don't put the CNFS buffers on a filesystem. Use a 2.4.20 kernel,
compile INN with largefile-support, and use partitions as CNFS buffers-
and preferably, don't use more than one CNFS buffer per disk to
prevent seeking.

This is my cycbuff.conf:

cycbuff:sdc1:/news/dev/sdc1:17770000
cycbuff:sde1:/news/dev/sde1:17770000
metacycbuff:bin:sdc1,sde1:INTERLEAVE

sdc and sde are 18 GB SCSI disks with just one partition on them.

My storage.conf file looks like this:

method cnfs {
        newsgroups: *
        class: 1
        size: 0,0
        options: bin
}
