Before I make a decision, I want to ask you for suggestions.
I want to make a small file server, just to separate important
files from my working system. Two disks as Raid 1. Files are to
be read with NFS. Emphasis:
(1) Data Integrity (not security :).
(2) some degree of indepencence from hardware and operating system.
Disk are to be readable for many decades. Standard File System
readable after moving the Disks to another computer, different
hardware, perhaps with different OS.
I was thinking on doing it with FreeBSD and ZFS. I find the last
interesting because: (a) it make checksums and corrections if
a checksum in a disk is wrong (using the other disk in the array),
(b) many OS are implementing it. But I find horrible how
resource hungry it is.
Do you have an idea?
I do preffer OpenBSD, but is there an appropriate file system
for archiving?
I thank for any suggestion
Rodrigo.
Hello,
I have my private file server using OpenBSD. That's not the best system
for that but it works.
If you are comfortable with and you don't need extra speed, that will be
ok.
For data integrity, you may use sysutils/bitrot to check for data
integrity (bit rot).
With OpenBSD, you won't get snapshots, on-the-fly compression etc...
Don't forget backups, that the most important thing for your file server
:-)
Regards
