Hi, I am planning to build a 12x 1TB array RAID 6 on a hardware controller... I will use it as a nfs server for archiving files (we need to keep legal files for 6 years)... Raid 6 will give me a 10 TB drive approx... Reading these pages: http://www.freebsd.org/projects/bigdisk/index.html <http://www.freebsd.org/projects/bigdisk/index.html>; http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks-adding.html <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks-adding.html>; I kinda understand freebsd is not well suited for that. I can read between the lines that we shouldn't go over 2TB. Is this information still exact or outdated ? I'm pretty sure I won't be able to boot on that megadrive so I planned on having 2 smaller disk on raid 1, but I want to make sure the big disk will work and will be reliable. Could someone comment please ? Thanks in advance ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ian Lord MSD Informatique 143 Rue des Fauvettes St-Colomban (Québec) J5K 0E2 Tél: (514) 776-MSDI -> (514) 776-6734 Sans Frais: 1(877) 776-MSDI -> 1(877) 776-6734 http://www.msdi.ca <http://www.msdi.ca>;
