I never have, but you may want to check in on the upper limits of the file systems are.

I know that the ZFS can handle that and more but that's more at home on BSD but it is finding it's way over to Linux. Again, I don't have any direct experience.

You may want to give this company a call. http://www.ixsystems.com/storage/ Evidently they have excellent customer service that know their stuff. They can recommend hardware to fulfill your needs, whether it is their systems or other systems.

Let us know how it turns out.

Anyone else build anything like a 28TB (or thereabouts) NAS box using Linux? (Raid or no Raid)

Just curious if the 28TB size presents any unusual problems.

I have a video security system supplier asking $10,000 (claims it is his cost) for what I think I can build for $2,500 using Linux and 8 x 4TB drives in a NAS box.

Open to warnings, reproach, and encouragement...
