Two servers. Running DFS on them and I have the target priority set so one will always be the primary...and the other will be a hot backup. In theory, but so far the theory is working in testing. 2008 R2 for the OS although that can certainly be changed, our edu license with MS is pretty cool. I looked at storage server also, but it didn't really bring much to the party.

Is this just a new server with more storage, direct attach, NAS/SAN? - Sean On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 7:04 AM, Kennedy, Jim <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Yep, can certainly do it that way...and that is on my list of possible solutions. Not seeing anything third party that will fill the need either. I just hate to pigeon hole myself and get the partition size wrong. I will need to reserve some space and make them dynamic.

If you're building the new storage for this environment, can you create separate partitions for the home folders and for the shared folders? That way disk quotas might be an option. - Sean On Tue, Mar 22, 2011 at 6:34 AM, Kennedy, Jim <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I am building new file storage, as you may recall from my previous DFS/Cluster questions. I am pondering the easiest way to do storage quotas. I will end up with 600 people in one folder. A handful of users will get larger quota's. FSRM looked good until I got into the details. I can auto populate the root of the HomeFolderShare and hit everyone with the same quota. But trying to then drill to a specific user and raise their quota it won't let me as it already has a quota on it from the root. What I need is 'block inheritance' on quota's. I don't want to go back to disk quota's because there are shared folders on the same disk and I don't want the use of those to count against the user's quota. Any ideas?
