Hi everyone. Well I finally got 4 x 80gb hdd's to use with a 3ware 6400 controller which I have had for months. Now I am going to have ~160gb in a system.
Any idea's on partitioning schemes/filesystems. So far I am only speed testing it to try and find the right stripe size for raid0+1. Raid 5 on the above card is far too slow. Btw the machine is used for desktop - word processing / web browsing / email server - email + proxy cache + web server + samba + ftp development - whatever I want to do. media - mp3, ogg etc... Also the filesystem cons + pro's ext3 - compatable with very robust ext2 tools because it is ext2 ext3 - it's in the kernel source less patching! ext3 - long fsck time every x days or y mounts xfs - don't know about tools for it xfs - hopefully no fsck's every x days and y mounts. xfs - kernel it's totally different very deep hooks, will it work with win4lin patches. Anyway all ideas appreciated. Jeff -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
