Yet another file server update

Posted May 11, 2008 at 11:05am in Computers

Drives and cages are in. I am sorry for the bad picture my camera broke and I had to use a flashlight and cell phone. I still have the parts in burnin, which I started out with a very very long ext3 format with block checking. Since there will be no need for a CD/DVD I have the drive sitting on top until I install a distro.

Originally I was going to use FreeNAS, and I have looked into NASLite and Openfiler, but decided to make my own distro. I may actually make it public in the end, but I just didn’t feel that I would use FreeNAS forever and therefore did not want to use UFS as the file system. I am also considering using it as a desktop since I have so much power to spare, but that would only be for a little while.

P.S. I know how ghetto a flashlight and cell phone is
