Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am going to build a filesever for my office. We are going to put in 15 |
| 4 |
drives in the case. There will be 4gb of ram. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I was thinking of putting the OS on two thumbdrives raided as raid 1. |
| 7 |
The reason for this is so that I can dedicate all the 15 drives for data |
| 8 |
storage and there is no more space to place two additional drives for |
| 9 |
the OS. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
From the net, I gather that flash drives have a limited write/erase. Is |
| 12 |
there a way that this can be overcome? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I was thinking of aufs. From what I understand, with aufs all the write |
| 15 |
is done only once when we shutdown the server. In this way everything is |
| 16 |
in the ram until a sync command is sent. This way the flash drives will |
| 17 |
last longer. Is this correct? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I could also make a symbolic link for the /var and /tmp to the main drives. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Is there a better way? Please advice. |
