My first Linux Server
| Hy, sorry if i am wrong but i could not find the right forum to post. I heared about ZFS from a friend and after much reading i think it is the right time to build my first Linux Home Server. I planed 1 SSD for System and as cache for ZFS, 3x 2TB Sata HDD on standard Software Raid Controller. The controller is because my mainboard can not handle this Discs. But i am a Linux newbie (just have a Centos Web Server :D) i have some questions and hope you can help me. - I want to use ZFS -> SSD as cache or is it the same effect if have have enough ram? - i read that if i use SSD as cache zfs can cache e.g. Videofiles and spindown the Harddrives if there are no using of this HDDs, is that right? So i can save energy. - I want to use it as testserver for Webdevelopment and i need php, mysql and other -> apache2 install - i need samba network share - i read about snapshot in ZFS, how muc space is used by a snaphot? Is it like a read only copy form the HDD? - at this time i run windows on this machine and spindown is no problem Wich Linux can i use for this best? Is this from above possible? If you need more info please ask. :) Tanks for your help |
