Some pointers on tuning loader machines.
Loader Machine
Temporary Folder
The tempdir setting controls the folder where Truxton ETLs will write their temporary files.
In the case of PST files, this can be huge.
Choose a fast drive to hold this.
Hashsets
The hashsetdir setting controls the folder where hashsets are stored.
Any ETL process that produces files will need fast access to the files in this folder.
Many reads will be performed on these files so this folder should be on a fast drive.
Rack Configuration
The Truxton Forensic Rack has a Yellowbrick database appliance, dedicated loader/exploitation machines and depot storage. With everything separated, it gives us many knobs to turn for loading.
