Hello all,
Spent the last several hours perusing the ZFS forums and some of the blog entries regarding ZFS. I have a couple of questions and am open to any hints, tips, or things to watch out for on implementation of my home file server. I'm building a file server consisting of an Asus P5WD2 motherboard (which utilizes the ICH7 south bridge, allowing RAID 5 through the embedded Intel controller), an 80GB PATA system drive and four 500GB SATA drives. This will be serving media and personal data through Samba services to a couple of desktops and a streaming media appliance. The server will also have a dual core 2.8Ghz Pentium 4 and 2GB of system RAM. The home network is all gigabit ethernet. With redundancy and data protection being the primary goal, and performance the secondary, what combination of RAID 5, ZFS, and RAIDZ do you folks recommend? Some, all...maybe none? ;-) Anyone else doing something similar? What's your experience? Thank you for your time.
