[CentOS] advice on storage for media storage/streaming server
Hello, I would like to use centos 6.3 to build a media server with 7 2TB drives and would like suggestions on the storage aspect. This is going to run mediaplex and function only as a media storage/streaming server. 1. If I didn't care about redundancy, would ext4 handle the size of a raid 0? 2. If I did go with the redundancy, what raid level should I use? 3. Should I use LVM? Why? Thank you in advance for your thoughts on this.

I don't expect to keep the same DVD backup set for more than ~12 months. I just make periodic backups from my dedicated backup drive to DVD/CDs, to get the data away from the PC and onto something hopefully more permanent than HDD's. Usually I can restore straight from the backup drive in the PC. I may have used the CD/DVD media when 3 HDD's decided to fail at around the same time. Here's the script's I wrote in PHP to be run by cron in the early hours of the morning, and posted on the Fedora forum.

Thanks for your helpful replies Les and others. I've dealt with the directory size issues by using $ du -sch DirName to give a listing for the size of all the subdirectories and files in DirName directory. To split the files under DirName i created 2 subdirs called xxx_DVD-1 xxx_DVD-2 and just moved stuff to each subdirectory using F6 key in mc. Then ran du -sch on each of the DVD-1 and DVD-2 sub dirs. I don't really want to compress things anyway. So that's the file and directory sizes sorted. My only problem now is because some files were created on different OS's, such as Win 32 and possibly Mac OS(X) K3b complains that the character set encoding for the filenames is wrong, and will not create the iso image for me. So I done some Googling and found this posting: International Chars cause backup problems http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-98363.html Then I installed convmv and read the docs on that. I'm still not sure how to identify out of 4.3G what character encodings are used for certain files. Is there any way to grep for a listing of these character encodings, so I can tell convmv what sets I want to convert into utf8 please?

Yep, built into GNOME. Either use the workspace switcher applet on the lower panel _or_ the keyboard shortcuts [0]. Ctrl + Alt + left or right arrow by default for GNOME2. Recent versions of GNOME (version 3) use Ctrl + Alt + up or down arrow by default.

[CentOS] any reliable HTTPS/SFTP based FTP software on Linux?
I tried Serv-U, Axway SecureTransport and other several software on Linux , Neither one works as expected. Serv-U is very inexpensive and can create unlimited FTP accounts, but crashes pretty often with unknown reasons. Axway SecureTransport is a riduculously expensive: about $1K per FTP account! and each FTP account has 2 months cool-down period on between remove old accounts and adding new ones. It is just far too expensive and over kill for regular FTP uses. Any one has experiences with SFTP/HTTPS based file transfer solutions, open sources or commercial is fine, as long as it is not too expensive.
