Hi,
For the farmers out there that are running big JBODs with no redundancy, what software are you using to manage it, I'm looking at maybe trying an Unraid array with no parity, thinking that having a single share that fairly evenly allocates plots across a bunch of disks would be the best method. Having dozens of shares (a share for each disk) would be a pita to manage, add to that if this is all happening on a bare *nix OS being able to monitor (SMART) all of the drives?
Thanks.
Richard
