Hi:
I need advice on implementing a storage server. I really do not have
the $ to spend for a Dell iSCSI storage divice and I am thinking
trunning CentOS 5.x with ftp or FreeNAS. Here is what I am looking at
and concerned about.
Situation:
My current storage needs are approximately 1.5 TB

Actually, I am on rh436 course now. Why not set up centos51 as iscsi

that just pushes the file management issues off to another system, where
you still have to solve them
he wants an archive server, which is more of a NAS device then a SAN.

I just purchased an equallogic SAN with 16 1TB drives for 52k at work.
Love it, scheduled snapshots, thin provisioning, iscsi only but fairly
swift at 16 spindles in a RAID 50.

I just posted this on my website, oddly enough. While you need to
really understand your storage requirements to make an informed choice
between hardware or software RAID, with quad core CPUs being as cheap as
they are it's hard to not make the argument for software.

and, more importantly, for the thread at hand, this guy wants an ARCHIVE
server, where performance is quite secondary, reliablity and data
retention are more important.
If he had the budget, I'd be suggesting looking at
The point was, acceptable performance can be had without purchasing a
hardware controller. And for archival purposes on a tight budget $500 bucks
means one controller for 3 more drives.

get me wrong, it's just knowing when and where.
Now the problem I have with your approach under the OP's
