Hi,

I love mangassi interface on web desktop amd mobile.
Could anyone share what framework / js is being use here?

ie. Angular / react / any js? Especialy the new post and side bar for mobile

How about the backend? Express ? Monggo db?

Thanks

Will be used for web apps, database, and hostings (whm).

Ok so 2 raid 1 it is then.

Is it better to use mdadm / onboard raid IT mode?
Not sure what IT mode means. Any one can help?

I use supermicron server board

so I install the host XEN in ssd with RAID 1? and then add the sata as another raid 1?
How to do it properly?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have server with 2 x 1 TB SSD and 2 x 2 TB SATA.

I want to use this server as VM host.
My questions are :

1. Can I do RAID 1 for each SSD and SATA?
2. Can Raid 10 do different size and model (1TB SSD & 2TB SATA)?
3. What is the best RAID configuration for above use?
4. Should I go hardware RAID? or MDADM? I heard hardware is slower for SSD RAID?
5. What filesystem I should use on the host? ext4 or LVM? or other?
6. If I use CentOS 7, do you recommend XEN / VM for stability and user friendly system?

My aim is to get full speed with SSD for critical VM (database server VM guest, web apps, etc) and less critical VM on sata (mail server VM guest, etc).

Thank you.
