Another thing to consider is something called "Object stores". This is where the redundancy is handled at the filesystem or above instead of the physical disk. It lets you do things like "Store each file on at least 2 different physical disks." An advantage to "Object stores" is you can easily mix disks of different sizes, add new disks, replace faulty ones with ones of different size and the "Object store" takes care of the distribution of files. btrfs is an example of such an "Object store" filesystem, but there are many others.
Wow. Thank you. This sounds _very_ interesting, even for the whole system. How would I go about converting this setup to a much more flexible BTRFS setup? (I'll probably have to wait until I have a lot of time at my hands.) Cheers, Axel
