Greetings gents. |

I may have missed it, but i haven't seen this suggested yet: RAID+LVM. |
4 |
If you already have a 3TB drive, buy another (or two more) and build a |
5 |
RAID1 or 5 array on them. Then build your LVM on top of /dev/md0 (or |
6 |
whatever device your raid is). |
7 |
|
8 |
Another approach is ZFS with RAID-Z or similar. I don't know how/if |
9 |
ZFS splits data among the drives, but i assume it's wise enough to do |
10 |
so in a way similar to a RAID+LVM combo. |

12 |
If going RAID, make sure the rpm and cache are the same for |
13 |
performance's sake, and you can mix and match drives from different |
14 |
vendors (perhaps you should, to add to the redundancy). |

I don't know about btrfs, seems like it's still in a testing-phase so |
17 |
i'm not touching it yet. |
