Looking for a little advice about setting up a home lan server. So far just tinkering with a vbox oi as guest install hoping to make whatever nasty blunders on disposable data and OS.
But getting right to it: In a previous life I ran oi and used mirrored sets of discs for everthing. Mirrored OS discs, and 2 sets of mirrored data discs. I was advised back then that mirrored sets of discs, given my small usage, would be the most secure (not meaning agains penitration or the like...just keeping data from loss) and handiest way to handle my home lan. So, wondering what the current thinking is? Like say, mirrored as opposed to a collection of discs in raidz or whatever its called. My needs will be well handled by something like 3tb of storage so something like 6 1tb discs for a mirrored setup. What else could I get with those 6 disks in terms of redundancy and ease of maintenance? _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
