Hi All,
I currently have a 7 disk mdraid lvm raid6 array using an ext4 filesystem.
I am wondering how I can better secure my data from hardware failure.
In a nutshell, I have a whole lot of files which rarely change, are relatively large, and I wouldn’t really lose sleep over if I lost.
I also have about 200gb(and growing) worth of data I would really prefer not to lose. (backed up elsewhere, but painful to recover)
Current total storage use is 5.5tb/10tb
I don’t want zfs. What is my best option for managing the situation using existing hardware?
Notes:
-must be extensible, more drives to be added easily.
- high speed access is a bonus, (200-400Mb/s)
- once written, files are rarely change
