File Server
Ok - I have 2 spare 500GB drives (S-ATA) and would like to make a simple PC and make it a headless file server. I don't need SAMBA since we have no Microsoft PC's on the LAN. Just Linux.
Where do I start and what do I need to make this possible? The machine will have both drives running in RAID0 for a total combination of 1TB of storage space. I know RAID0 is an issue but it is only for me to snap files to and from and nothing mission critical will be on this machine. Thanks for any help! I will be using a stable version of Debian on this machine. |
well not much to do really, just kick off nfs on it and you're home and dry really... if it's standalone fileserver without a wider user base, you may want to fiddle with uid's for the nfs export, but there's not likely to be any real need.

Only myself and one other person will be using it so I guess all I need to install is NFS, right?
Here is what I find when I look for NFS... Code:
nfs-common - NFS support files common to client and server |
people try to do too much and it gets confusing ehh? yeah that looks right, never run it as a kernel server myself. no plans to start...

Very cool - Looks like I will be setting up my own file server this weekend, we'll see how that goes!
