Subject: storage suggestions? - msg#00024List: linux.admin.managersabout a TB (usable) as cheaply as possible. It'll be in a NAS setup, perhaps with iSCSI stuff once what's available for Linux matures a bit (a lot? Everything I've found is nearly useless.) This is really a two-phase question: 1) What can anyone recommend for a disk solution. For price/performance/reliability, does SATA make sense yet? I've seen quite a few SATA->SCSI direct-attached arrays (some with upwards of 24 disks) that look quite promising, but do they really perform all that well? Can anyone recommend a specific vendor with a product that's rackable? I'm looking to spend as far under $10k as possible. Both direct-attach and server-plus-storage solutions are acceptable. Basically, the problem is that I've never bought this sort of thing before and I can't afford to have this one purchase be anything less than adequate for the next 2-4 years. 2) I'm wary of using NFS, but wary of the complexity of filesystems like OpenAFS, Coda, etc., and I'd like something as turnkey as NFS but with better security and perhaps even block-level access.
