Build your own
16-Terabyte file server
with hardware RAID.
Eric Pearce
I recently had the need for a lot of
disk space, and I decided to build
a 16TB server on my own from
off-the-shelf parts. This turned out
to be a rewarding project, as it
involved many interesting topics,
including hardware RAID, XFS, SATA
and system management issues
involved with large filesystems.
