Hi all,
So far, my only experience with OpenAFS has been in a virtual
environment, but I'm feeling confident enough now to use it for the
next version of my home network in order to gain some more experience.
I'd like to use three Debian Linux servers: two file- and database
servers and a third server with only an OpenAFS database. That should
result in total redundancy as far as the two file servers are concerned.
What I would like to do is to make that third server as small as
possible by using a Soekris Engineering net5501 for it:
http://www.soekris.com/net5501.htm
This is a very small, low-power unit with a 500 MHz 586 CPU and 512 MB
of RAM. It has room for a single 2.5" hard disk, so I'd like to use a
64 GB Western Digital SSD.
Does this third machine look feasible, or would I be asking for
trouble? Would the SSD survive this level of wear* for at least three
years?
Any opinions?
Thanks,
Jaap
*) Assuming the usual SSD tweaks: noatime, external logging,
elevator=noop and setting the bios to "Write Back" for the drive.
