Hi All, I am trying to build a NAS server based on Fedora 9.
I will be using a de-branded HP Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core with 2GB RAM and two 250GB drives mirrored for the OS stuff and a few apps. I would like to add some type of raid storage box to it with about 5 1TB drives using raid 5 unless there is something better. I want to use the system for photography work flow and backing up a few Windows systems. My questions are as follows: 1. What is an inexpensive external RAID storage box to go with? 2. What is a good inexpensive RAID controller to go with? 3. S/W RAID vs HW RAID? Which is the most reliable way to go? 4. Are there ways to do full backups of windows boxes and restore a complete bootable drive from the Linux box? 5. What is the largest file system Fedora 9 can support? 6. Are there performance hits for large file systems? Thanks so much in advance!
