> What's your strategy for dealing with your exponentially-increasing home movie collection? I have a small low-power server running Debian Squeeze: - ZFS-fuse filesystem (packaged with squeeze) - disks in ZFS pool are arranged in mirror vdevs to protect against single drive failure - separate ZFS file systems for archive and less important bulk storage - weekly cron job: ZFS scrub to verify pool data integrity (and report the result) - daily cron job: ZFS snapshot archive to protect against user errors - SAMBA shares so the family can easily use the server. This still doesn't protect against catastrophes which wipe out both disks at the same time, so I also make copies of my archive on USB disks for off-line storage in another location. That's the annoying part which is the most work. I will probably move to the BTRFS file system in the future, because it is likely faster than ZFS-fuse and it seems to have support for mixing disk sizes, which makes it easier to grow the storage organically.
