I've been looking and looking around for the maximum limits for file storage.
We have several NetApp filers, running OnTap, and the expenses to keep these licenses current are killing us...
We dont' need tech support, don't need assistance... so I'm leaning towards a linux build much like OnTap... a
custom NAS/Filer build, without redundant fluff....
I'd be placing the FreeNAS on a flash card and running it from there. The storage shelves are just for that, storage.
I don't want to put the FreeNAS on the medium that is for our storage.
As to space... I need to find out somewhere where the limits of ZFS are. We have over 92tb of storage
across multiple shelves but currently handled by an R200 NetApp filer.
Greatly appreciate any help one could give!
Thanks!
Dave.
