Something to look into before going the traditional raid/nfs route: |
28 |
moosefs or lizardfs. I am using arm based odroid HC2's and over the |
29 |
softraid based nfs I was using there are considerable power savings |
30 |
(especially if you take into the account redundancy) as it takes a |
31 |
number of these low power arm systems to match the power requirements of |
32 |
an older desktop), better data protection (actual, not theoretical for |
33 |
2x raid 4 disk 10's replaced by a single 5x hc2's using the same disks |
34 |
with mfs :) and the ease of mounting it into the filesystem. Downside |
35 |
is needing a fast network for best performance but an NFS will need that |
36 |
anyway for similar reasons. |
