Spiffy new NFS server once upon a time, now the old and busted backup (with increasing numbers of marginal disks as time goes by)

Basics

  • Silicon Mechanics 4U box
  • 4 quad-core Xeon E5620 @ 2.4GHz
  • 24GB of RAM.
  • 23 x 2TB disks in hardware SAN provide 39TB available storage
  • Dual Intel 82574L GigE NICs
  • OS & Drivers
    • CentOS 6.2 (Final)
    • Kernel 2.6.32-220.13.1

Systems Specifications:

This is a large server that replaces the NetApp for providing dedicated NFS services. Notably, it has twice the disk and fills 4U instead of its own entire cabinet.

RAID: LSI MegaRaid SAS 2108 (Liberator) 24-disk controller (23 + hot spare)

Installed Software

  • NFS. Lots and lots of NFS.
  • Private network MTU is set to 9000 to improve speed
