Well, the use is the simplest, as for most home users, this server will mostly store my multimedia files, offering it over the network. I mostly use it on my desktop, which dubles as my media center.
Talking about cost, it may not be much relevant to most of you, since I live in Hungary (EU...
I've just got some bad news, the Tyan board I ordered can no longer be acquired by that retailer. I did wan't to go professional on this build, but more advanced Opteron boards would be just too expensive and the CPUs fitting them would consume lots of energy without me being able to use their...
I've got the whole thing described under the new file-server part.
We have a bit of confusion here, as Wikipedia states, JBOD can mean 2 things. I actually meant standalone HDDs. I know it isn't too secure, since if a drive that isn't backed up fails, I'll loose the data. But at least it...
After having snapped a few shots of my new Norco case, I thought it was time to show off my current and future setups alongside eachother :)
My current file-server (Fedora13):
MB: Asus M2N WS
Proc: Athlon64 3000+
Mem: 2x2 GB KingMax DDR2-800

If you're thinking of the green series' speed change, that's a totally internal function of the HDD. The type of SATA controller should have no bearing on it.
As for a total halt of drives, I would really not recommend it for a RAID setup.
Hey there!
As my server upgrades have come to an end, I though that I might contribute... :)

My PSU is a Héden 560W power supply. It's not a big brand, it's sold by LG France. But according to the BIOS voltage monitoring, everything is fine.
I'm not replacing the drives but I'm adding new ones. So there is no confusion caused by the pratitions type or number. All of the drives has a...
If the solution would be so simple...
No, of corse, I'm tolking about a normal HDD addition, with the computer turned off. And when it gets OK again is the time when I reinstall the system. Not reboot but reinstall.
It's probably a lot more of a linux question... I just tought that those, who...
Hi!
I have a file-server with 14 HDD for the moment(10 IDE + 4 SATA). The problem is, that when I add a new ard drive, the system(Fedora 4) goes a bit crazy. The IDE drives cause some errors in the kernel and get remounted in read-only mode.
This problem only appears when I'm adding a new...
