Answer 1

There are a couple of good books to read:

• The Art of capacity planning
• High Performance MySQL

Answer 2

mysql is not really needed for a file sharing service (more precisely, if it is done normally, then the load on it is small), but for file servers, look towards aio (required to be enabled), sendfile (required to be disabled), use linux (it is now much better than freebsd , although 2-3 years ago, the picture was different), xfs, set up sufficiently large blocks for reading and look for articles on tuning the network system (there are several parameters in total).
Next comes the role of iron. What iron is needed depends on the planned load and how it will be distributed. Try not to use raids and branded hardware. For the money that you can buy a branded server, you buy 2-3 on soho hardware, which will be both faster and more reliable.
And then, this is already according to the situation, a lot of general documentation will not help you, you need to know the nature of the load, volumes, etc.
