I've got plenty of storage for now. I was joking about getting more
(to later return) to use just for migration. Once your talking about
moving data measured in TB, it takes time and building drive arrays
requires empty drives.<br>

I'd really like to get the "perfect" file server setup going
at home. I'm currently using Samba on a Debian machine.<br>
<br>
Its in a mixed environment of Linux and Windows machines,
several family users and some of my daughter's friends also
use the system. I have over 7tb storage to work with. Some
of it needs to be mirrored or otherwise protected against
data lost. Some of the data, mainly movies can be at risk as
it consumes so much space and are replaceable. The real fly
in the ointment is file indexing in Windows 7. I want to be
able to find things fast regardless of desktop OS. Another
problem would be migrating data as I'm using about 50% of my
capacity. Buying a few large external hard drives from best
buy and returning after use wouldn't be nice lol<br>
<br>
I've looked at ZFS as mentioned a while back on here and
that looks real interesting. FreeNAS looks like an
interesting way to go but I keep coming back to file
indexing.<br>
<br>
Built on Linux or BSD is the only real requirement.
Forgetting about migration for now, any thoughts? I know
one person's idea of perfect is far from perfect to the next
though.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Dave<br>
