Hey Guys
I'm currently re building my NAS from scratch with some new drives.
It is a HP Microserver N54L with 4 x 3TB Seagate NAS drives for storage.
The server will hold various file types, Movies, Music, Photos, Software, Streaming to XBMC etc.....
I want to set this up in Raid 5. What are your recommendations for achieving this? filesystems to use? raid to use? etc.
Is there a thread available with a step by step guide including the tuning?
Cheers
Brenton
RAID5, before your create the filesystem wait until the raid is initialized, otherwise you will add much time to the initiation process.
Mostly big files? Then XFS. Others would recommend Ext4 maybe.
Tuning the raid array is somewhere here in the forum, maybe Ryecoaaron will post about that.
Which seagate drives are this?
Greetings
David
Hillarious. Even Seagate claims they only do good in 1-5 bays...
But nevertheless, I would've prefered the WD over Seagate. How much did you pay for one HDD?
Greetings

$169 AUD
Put:
echo 8192 > /sys/block/md126/md/stripe_cache_size
into /etc/rc.local
Change md126 to match your array number.
Ok thanks.
am i better off to run lvm or just create the filesystem straight up? i was thinking about going ext4

is this the only tuning i will need to do?
OK, so i have made the raid 5 array using the webgui, i have also created the ext4 file system. i put the tuning command in using telnet.
transfering some movies from a windows 7 machine on gigabit network i'm only getting speeds of 55mb/sec, any ideas to get speeds up?
I don't think you need lvm. That is the only tuning I have on my array array. What are the specs of the Win7 machine?
