I chose iSCSI because it makes it easy to expand the available storage to OwnCloud should the need arise. I can just throw another NAS at it. It also lets me use a specific file system for different folders within OwnCloud. Media can be XFS, while small files from industrial applications can be in EXT2. It's probably doable in LVM, but could be messy. The reason I prefer to use a NAS for file storage is that I can trunk/LAG the ports easily.
LDAP integration didn't require any technical knowledge. You just need to provide the bind dn, domain dn and manager password as far as I remember. If you plan to expose your installation, make sure you disable or block webdav. I'll never understand why all these file storage projects still support it. Anand.

I choose it because it is as close to RHEL as you can get...even more so with their new partnership. With the iSCSI target...is that based on the NAS you are using or a choice? Did you need to do anything special with the LDAP? Just want to get to the point of having single sign-on for all necessary folks. Just thinking...maybe something like this would be a good solution for CLUG. I know that it ha been discussed that no one knows where anything is & there really isn't anything related to an archive anywhere. This could be hosted at someones office/house or whatever & if it ever needed to be transitioned somewhere then it could be as simple as moving one box. Or...alternative is maybe raising fees to help pay for a hosted server somewhere. . > > On Apr 18, 2014 1:51 AM, "TekBudda" <tekbu...@gmail.com > <mailto:tekbu...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > Hi All, > > Thought I would ask some thoughts about how to go about the following. > > I have recently built a fresh CentOS server install that I intend to > install OpenLDAP on & act as a PDC.
