Hi all,
I am trying to build a file server providing about 10 TB of effective RAID5/6 storage. Any recommendations as far as hardware, configuration, etc. - preferably based on recent experience - would be most welcome.
XFS for sure, what type of controller and discs? If you go r5 over huge discs keep in mind that while degraded, as you wait a looong time for it to rebuild any new failure tanks the whole thing. I'd go r6 w/o a doubt.
