Dear List, I am going to order a really powerfull server machine that will serve as Tjener (no X). Klaus gave me several hints - and now I think about a system that includes an extra PCI RAID conroller with at least 3 SCSI platters under RAID-5.
I expect their size to be like 36 GB each (hot plug). This is sufficient for the main installation, ldap, logfiles, backup etc. - but regarding up to 1000 home directories - plus possible CD images in case we integrate windows clients (cd deamon tools, hd images) - I'd plea for at least 100 GB. Now, I consider different options, as the price for having that space on scsi platters seems way too much: i) have an additional IDE HD for home0 and samba shares (problem: where to backup? data loss?) ii) have an extra file server (only for samba? or also for NFS/home0? feasable with skolelinux?) Thank you in advance for your opinions Regards Ralf
