A comprehensive, "user friendly" technical sourcebook

Now in a newly revised and expanded second edition, System Performance Tuning by Gian-Paolo D. Musumeci (Research Engineer, Performance and Availability Engineering Group, Sun Microsystems) and Mike Loukides (Editor, O'Reilly & Associates) is a comprehensive, "user friendly", technical sourcebook, guide, and reference for UNIX system administrators who seek optimum speed and overall performance. Tacking complex problems for which there are no simple solutions, individual chapters address workflow management, disk arrays, code tuning, and much more. A first-class resource, System Performance Tuning is an invaluable and highly recommended tutorial and continuing reference work.
