As a resonable person - I would like to plan It for my actual needs =20 (suiting the first year of exploitation =3D 1Tb) and after that =20 eventually grow the file system using the most simple and less anoying =20= solution=85 I wanted to have your point of view on the potential way to build the =20= best hosting solution, knowing that most important things are: - Use (if possible) a 100% compatible FBSD solution. - Also be compatbile with other flavor of Unix (Linux,=85). - Offer an expandable and simple to manage solution for storage. - Figure out a good solution for backup. Today I have 2 solutions in mind: 1. Use a blade system including 2 or 3 blades at first with an =20 external attached storage device (whom type has to be defined); 2. Use various servers on their own and dispatch services accordingly =20= on each server. 3. Another solution=85 I wanted to know: - If anyone has been using blade system with FreeBSD and what problem =20= he has been facing? - If you have some specific advise regarding File System configuration =20= or options? - What storage solution you find best and easiest to manage? Main point is: stability and sustainable.
