Hi! I'm going to install OMV on an old atom netbook
Dell mini 9: Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz / Intel GMA 950, 8gb ssd, 1gb ram, 2 x 1TB usb hdd
Mainly to store pictures and files and to download torrents.
I know I have to install it from the debian netinst iso since there is no x86 build, but are there any major caveats of using such an underpowered machine for this use case?
I was thinking of setting RAID, but I've read, at least for raspberries, it's not recommended if the disks are usb connected, so would it be recommended in this case? Would it be better to set rsync to copy the folders I want from one disk to another?
And, I have one disk in NTFS (used with windows machine) and the other in exFAT (used with windows and mac machines) I guess I'd have to format both to ext4, is that right? I don't plan to use any of those as usb disks anymore, but as disks for the NAS.
Thank you!!
