Hi, I'm planing a storage (iscsi, 16 SATA disks, raid 6) for some film/dvd projects, to archive the clips and final dvd images. The "backup" is the original video tapes and dvd. The server is a RH EL 5.2 system, all devices on gigabit lan. We calculated about 10 TB for the first setup. For the "novice" users the storage serves the shares via smb; for the "pro" useres I'd like to use ftp. My questions concerns the size and the type of the filesystem: The most simple setup would be ext3, one big filesystem. The pro is the simple setup and logic management; the contra is e.g. a long filesystemcheck after a crash. There would not be mutch concurrent connections or users. Any thoughts and/or suggestions?
