Help need to use local storage on AWS for the importing process

[pablopareja]

Hi @eparejatobes

I would need some guidelines to know the best way to use several disks as just one drive on AWS so that all the files fits when importing Bio4j.

I'm looking at it, a simple RAID0 conf should be pretty straightforward

How big is it expected to be?

[pablopareja]

About 1 TB, maybe a bit more... (the DB data would actually be less than 1TB but you need space for both the temporal data and at least the last XML that will be imported)

[pablopareja]

so?

[eparejatobes]

For one-off testing you can just set the right block device mapping when launching the instance (I mean get all the instance storage devices there) and then do something like

but for the instance storage devices

@pablopareja could you document somewhere what you're doing exactly with this?

[pablopareja]

where should I write it?

[eparejatobes]

somewhere in docs

[eparejatobes]

@pablopareja is this done somewhere?

[pablopareja]

Yeah, I wrote a nice short description in some issue... let me look it up a second

[eparejatobes]

ping @pablopareja

Isn't this enough? https://github.com/bio4j/bio4j-titan/blob/master/docs/ImportingTitanBio4j.md
