Re: [SLE] Home made NAS with SUSE - filesystem questions

Hi!

I'm planning to build a home made NAS using old harware and SUSE. SUSE
might not be the best OS for this, but it's the only Linux I have
administered at least somewhat.

Ok, what I'm thinking is a old PC with lot's of old disks inside and a
gigabit ethernet (planning to do video editing over it also).

Even gigabit ethernet is WAY slower than local disks. You may find it a pain for video editing. It might be OK to store video there, copy it to a local disk while you edit it and then copy it back. But the bottom line is experience - I suggest you set up the gigabit link and run some tests with it first :)

Cheers, Dave
