Hi,
I am going to build a filesever for my office. We are going to put in 15
drives in the case. There will be 4gb of ram.
I was thinking of putting the OS on two thumbdrives raided as raid 1.
The reason for this is so that I can dedicate all the 15 drives for data
storage and there is no more space to place two additional drives for
the OS.
From the net, I gather that flash drives have a limited write/erase. Is
there a way that this can be overcome?
I was thinking of aufs. From what I understand, with aufs all the write
is done only once when we shutdown the server. In this way everything is
in the ram until a sync command is sent. This way the flash drives will
last longer. Is this correct?
I could also make a symbolic link for the /var and /tmp to the main drives.
Is there a better way? Please advice.
P.V.Anthony
