I will suggest that you get one that supports NFS. I have one that exports only SAMBA shares, and it seems that keeping it mounted on the linux server is a bit unreliable. Took me a while to figure out why my server disk space was full until I realized that the mount points at / were full of files, and that the RAID directory structure was strangely empty... -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Matty Sarro Sent: Monday, January 24, 2011 10:14 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: EXTERNAL:OT question about NAS units Hey everyone. I know this is off topic but I'm hoping someone can point me in a direction that would help. Right now we're looking to implement a simple NAS solution, offering about 24TB of storage. We want simple boxes that can be purchased fairly cheaply to add some extra storage space. They will be for nothing but logs, so inexpensive midline drives can be used. HP has a number of offerings (x1600's, etc), as does Dell (Powervault series). The problem is that all of these devices require AC power at the low end. The locations where these devices will be deployed only offer DC power. We'd have to look into a massive head-ended solution for something that offers more. I've tried contacting a number of third party storage vendors (Dakota storage, etc) but have not received a single response. Any suggestions on other storage companies would really be appreciated. -Matty -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
