Hello,
I've got a friend that wants to use a FreeBSD box for a file server. He has a
huge pile of drives of different sizes, but he wants them all as one big file
system. What's the appropriate tool for this? gstripe doesn't seem like it'd
be smart to use with differently-sized drives. Is gvinum up to snuff and
stable enough to use? Is ccd still supported? What would be your tool of
choice?
Thanks,
Josh
Given that the drives are different capacities you might want to just use
the different drives for different portions of the filesystem, such as
using a smaller drive for swap, then using different drives for:
/usr/local
/usr/src
/var
/
/etc
The choices depend on the drive capacities and what the server will be used
for.
