Hello,
Creating a new storage NAS:
Specs:
- Dual Xeon X5670 6-core 12 thread (12 core total 24 threads)
- 24 gigs DDR3-1333 ECC Registered Ram
- Norco RPC-4216 Case
- LSI SAS 6G HBA (2 cards)
- 2 x 10G SFP+ intel NIC (First experience with 10G & SPF+ so will see how that works out)
OS will be on its own SSD
All critical information will be backed up our current NAS which has been running for years with no issues. Same specs, but less storage which is driving this question
I am trying to figure out based on the different disk arrangements, which is the best file system to use in each case.
- On current NAS I use EXT4 for each mdadm raid volume; I have had great reliability and great performance.
New system will have a raid 6 volume over 16TB, so not sure EXT4 will be the choice for that portion of the system.
Attached is an excel file explaining what I know about the storage system so far. Looking for inputs on which file systems to use based on requirements and usage.
All Raid arrays are created by OMV
