Recommended storage scheme for home server? (LVM/JBOD/RAID 5…) BTW, there is also Greyhole, which manages a pool of drives somewhat like Windows Home Server. |

Recommended storage scheme for home server? (LVM/JBOD/RAID 5…) Could be interesting in a few years :) Looking for a stable, low-hassle system myself - otherwise I'd probably go with btrfs - but looks interesting, and could perhaps be relevant for the more experimental? |

Recommended storage scheme for home server? (LVM/JBOD/RAID 5…) It's true that just the RAID partitions need to be the same size, but not sure what to do with the remaining space. Ex. three disks 1.0TB, 1.5TB and 2.0TB could be RAID 5 using 3x1.0TB partitions, but that would leave 1.5TB unused space. I could stuff all of it into LVM (so the LVM runs on one RAID and two non-RAID volumes), but I can't immediately see that "partial RAID" has any advantages. Agree that RAID 5/6 (using similar-sized disks) + LVM may be the best option for a resilient single system. I like the LVM flexibility and snapshotting, so I'm leaning towards LVM. Thanks for input! |

Recommended storage scheme for home server? (LVM/JBOD/RAID 5…) I'll try there if I don't get a response here. But setting up a home server with a few extra disks is becoming relatively mainstream, and a far cry from managing enterprise servers, so I believe the question more naturally belongs here. Plus the next person considering an Ubuntu-based home server is more likely to check this site for answers. |
