I suggest that you do not try to save money on disk space. Disk is cheap. You will spend weeks of expensive engineering time trying to make this work. Once you make it work, it will be slow an unreliable.
300GB Amazon EBS volumes are $180/year, $360/year for SSD. Just spend the money. wunder Walter Underwood wun...@wunderwood.org http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) On Mar 29, 2015, at 10:42 PM, abhi Abhishek <abhi26...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > Thanks for the suggestions.
