Creating An NFS-Like Standalone Storage Server With GlusterFS 3.0.x On Debian Squeeze
Creating An NFS-Like Standalone Storage Server With GlusterFS 3.0.x On Debian Squeeze This tutorial shows how to set up a standalone storage server on Debian Squeeze. Instead of NFS, I will use GlusterFS here. The client system will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem

Proxmox 2 With Software Raid
Proxmox 2 With Software Raid Proxmox Virtual Environment is an easy to use Open Source virtualization platform for running Virtual Appliances and Virtual Machines. Proxmox does not officially support software raid but I have found software raid to be very stable and in some cases have had better luck with it than hardware raid.

Striping Across Four Storage Nodes With GlusterFS 3.2.x On Ubuntu 11.10
Striping Across Four Storage Nodes With GlusterFS 3.2.x On Ubuntu 11.10 This tutorial shows how to do data striping (segmentation of logically sequential data, such as a single file, so that segments can be assigned to multiple physical devices in a round-robin fashion and thus written concurrently) across four single storage servers (running Ubuntu 11.10) with GlusterFS. The client system (Ubuntu 11.10 as well) will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem.

Using iSCSI On Debian Squeeze (Initiator And Target)
Using iSCSI On Debian Squeeze (Initiator And Target) This guide explains how you can set up an iSCSI target and an iSCSI initiator (client), both running Debian Squeeze. The iSCSI protocol is a storage area network (SAN) protocol which allows iSCSI initiators to use storage devices on the (remote) iSCSI target using normal ethernet cabling.

Distributed Storage Across Four Storage Nodes With GlusterFS 3.2.x On Ubuntu 11.10
Distributed Storage Across Four Storage Nodes With GlusterFS 3.2.x On Ubuntu 11.10 This tutorial shows how to combine four single storage servers (running Ubuntu 11.10) to one large storage server (distributed storage) with GlusterFS. The client system (Ubuntu 11.10 as well) will be able to access the storage as if it was a local filesystem.
