hi,
having made a considerable amount of pre-research am now asking your
mind about my goal.
enviroment :
a FreeBSD (ranging from 6.x to 8.1) web-farm (a couple of links and a
dozen of devices/servers)
goal :
share (in R/W) some dirs between various hosts via NFS; such dirs must
be in something that is error-proof.
considerations :
at lower level feel RAID6 meet my requirements (i love something that
can face a double hw fault)
while at upper level ZFS looks very nice so am looking for such a
combination.
status :
as now had found some ADPTEC, ARECA and 3WARE adapters that look
reasonable but controller is not all;
i need also 8 (+ 2 spare) HDs and a case where to keep them.
so had extended research to 8HD cases with RAID6 capabilities.
again a few manufacturer seem to have suitable boxes as
**MGBurly8VRe ( http://www.burlystorage.com/ccp0-prodshow/MGBurly8VRe.html )
and
ARC-5040 (
http://www.areca.com.tw/products/esatafirewire800iscsiaoeusb.htm )
questions :
a) do you feel that combination NFS over ZFS over RAID6 a good choice or
just a complicated exercise leading nowhere?
b) do you feel suitable the listed hw ? [ one | both | none ]
c) do you know something "better" that lead to an overall expense not
bigger than 2.5 K euro? (had seen some ADAPTEC over 4K euro that seem
nice but expensive for a test)
thank you
Alessandro
