Same here, but I usually don't install/uninstall a lot of stuff after I get everthing I want on there initiallyApril23 said:I don't think I've thought it was THAT necessary to defrag ever. Something goes wrong bad enough I'll just reformat for a clean slate.

are you serious? I've got 400GB in my server and there's only 100GB free. It's filled with music and movies galore. I've never defragged it though, even after 2 years, it's reiserfs and doesn't need it.fly said:wtf do you have on there? What is wrong with me? I have 2 40GB drives and barely 20GB of data between them.

I killed a drive with that. LOLFindakáno said:I use O&O 6.5 and have running in stealth mode
Stuff, lots of stuff. Mostly movies and TV-eps I would say. I need moar space Thinking about building a fileserver but that's $$$$ *sigh*fly said:wtf do you have on there? What is wrong with me? I have 2 40GB drives and barely 20GB of data between them.
naaa, it's not big dollars to build a fileserver. I did mine for like $400. I borrowed an old PC from work (celery 500 with 512 mb ram) and picked up 2 200GB IDE drives. I then installed linux on it and setup all the samba/nfs stuff that I'd need to be able to access the files from either windows or linux. it's pretty sweet, and it was a breeze to configure. It runs slackware 10 and at the moment has been up 192 days. It would be up longer but I lost power about that many days ago.I Robert I said:Stuff, lots of stuff.

Needs moar RAID and that means more drives. I want redundancy! Having lost 3-4 drives in the past I'm getting kinda paranoid about my data... And I don't have any putars to steal from work and I gave my old one to my mom. Bleh. Some day, some day.CletusJones said:naaa, it's not big dollars to build a fileserver. I did mine for like $400.

holy crap dude. i have old pcs like that just sitting around, too bad shipping would be a bitch.I Robert I said:Needs moar RAID and that means more drives. I want redundancy!

I backup to tapes, I picked up one of the old DDS3 tape drives from work for cheap when they upgraded to something that would hold way more. It's got 6 tapes in the cartridge that you put in it, and each tape holds 25GB compressed. Granted it may take a long time, but it gets the job done. Plus, I only paid $50 for the drive.I Robert I said:Needs moar RAID and that means more drives. I want redundancy! Having lost 3-4 drives in the past I'm getting kinda paranoid about my data...

If you are going to use Raid5 then use the hardware version. I have seen too many people with the software version lose almost everthing when it goes down completely.I Robert I said:Needs moar RAID and that means more drives. I want redundancy!

If your data is important enough to you then you will be willing to spend the $$$.fly said:True RAID5 hardware = $$$
I refuse to spend $500+ dollars or whatever it costs for a true RAID card. If your data at home is that important, then you have problems.Findakáno said:If your data is important enough to you then you will be willing to spend the $$$.
