OS/Filesystem for file server ~ 8Tb
-
I've not used LVM snapshotting before so it'll be good to experiment with it and understand it's advantages and limitations. It may not keep the end users (almost all developers) happy so I might need to revisit.
If ZFS is a requirement do you think ZFS on Ubuntu rather than ZFS on FreeBSD say?
I'd need to get a lot more familiar with FreeBSD which is the disadvantage but maybe it's worthwhile? -
