Nope. I did not say production. I said that if you want NetApp-style snapshots, use one of the mentioned file systems. I never said I actually used them for production, nor for anything at all (I don't) Ez On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 2:52 PM, Amos Shapira wrote: > 2010/9/10 Etzion Bar-Noy : > > Linu

Re: CPU & RAM in a storage box

Linux LVM2 has been around for several years now. It can take and use snapshots, and I do it for the last three or so years on *production* sites. There are limitations, such as space utilization and performance, but the most significant one is that LVM snapshots are nowhere near NetApp snapshots.

Re: CPU & RAM in a storage box

here is my 3 cents: In two companies i worked for, i designed similiar servers. 1. i wanted to have as less as a down time, and i didn't want to buy another server just to sit and wait for a failure, so i decided it should work on any pc with any raid controller - i decided to do the raid in soft

Re: CPU & RAM in a storage box

I happen to have an IBM SAN storage at home, so I am familiar with IBM line of storage products. The EXP3000 is an expansion to IBM storage, which can perform for itself (JBoD), however - it contains no CPU, or RAID abilities internally. You will have to connect it to an additional server (1U, I as

On top of rpath Linux, which is the root of all evil. Also - although I have implemented quite a few of these, OpenFiler suffers from various bugs and shortcomings. Still - in the "free like beer" area - it is good enough for most purposes. Ez On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 1:08 AM, Amos Shapira wrote:

This is a joke, right? You want someone to host your system, which, by design, will not be rack-mountable, and would be large, due to the amount of disks you are to place there. It is possible, but extremely expensive to host a non-1-U server nowadays. Who would "give" it to you? An industrial-gra

Hi Hetz, My experience is with raid backup servers, that need to keep data but don't have to be the fastest. I wouldn't go so far with it at the start. Take some old server box. Buy a killer power supply for hard drives stability. Now test the setup using mdadm as raid. This will most likely be go
