Hi guys im building my new file server using Windows Server 2008 Data centre edition
however one feature i do like about WHS is that you can have one pool of drives. whilst this could be replicated on a network share using DFS i was wondering if it was at all possible using some form of disk management.
basically creating a form of raid 0 where each drive could be used individually, removed from the array and not break everything.
could this be acheived using drive mounting?
or would i be better off creating my DFS and using that to add files to the drives.
in which case if i created 2 drives that point to \\file\documents with write permissions how does it controll which drive it writes to?
as the title says this is theoretical at the moment i may do some testing on it later.
