Hello everyone,
I have been experimenting with FreeBSD for a while now and I now want to move from virtualbox to the real hardware.
The problem is that I do not know if what I have is ok for what I want to do... Could you please advise me?
I would like to set up a web/email server using FreeBSD 9 Release using a 3 jails setup for security using ZFS.
- 1x for webserver
- 1x for database (not sure if it should be on its own or not)
- 1x for Email Server
My hardware is as follow HP DL385 Dual AMD Opteron 2.6GHZ 6GB RAM 146GB SCSI hardrives (4x36.5GB).
My worry is that i'm not sure that the disk are big enough to do all that I said above.
Also do I need to use then in a raidz or to leave them as single zfs but then I loose a security in case of disk failure....
How would you guys deal with my situation based on my hardware?
Note I aslo have a spare 300Gb scsi disk at my disposale that I could fit in the server.
Thank you all in advance
