CentOS - Mar 2010 - file/data server running CentOS

Hi all,

I am trying to build a file server providing about 10 TB of effective
RAID5/6 storage. Any recommendations as far as hardware,
configuration, etc. - preferably based on recent experience - would be
most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Boris.

XFS for sure, what type of controller and discs? If you go r5 over huge
discs keep in mind that while degraded, as you wait a looong time for it
to rebuild any new failure tanks the whole thing. I'd go r6 w/o a doubt.
