Now install Samba server and Samba client ~]# yum install epel-release epel-repository installed successfully Login to your centos server via SSH or KVM and run below command. To setup SAMBA file server you need to install epel-release repository. Samba service provides interoperability between Microsoft Windows and Unix/Linux computer. SAMBA was developed in 1980 by IBM, Microsoft and Intel as a way to share file and printers over a network. Microsoft networking is based on CIFS (Common Internet File system) which was built on SMB protocol. For a personal Samba server, I'd probably mount it as /home and then the Samba automatic per-user home directory shares could be used to easily give everyone in the family their own private space on the RAID, also easily accessed via a direct server login.Server Message Block (SMB) is used in a variety of operating systems for file sharing and print services. That's pretty much a matter of personal preference. You're probably not going to be adding a 2nd RAID so LVM doesn't buy anything. :-)Ģ) How should I format the RAID volume, (lvm, ext3, etc)? I have used a 3Ware RAID as a boot device, so your proposed configuration sounds reasonable to me, and would be cheap insurance. I have not actually used the feature of having 2 different arrays, but know that the hardware does support it. I have used a number of different 3Ware RAID controllers and have had pretty good luck with them. I have a some more newbie questions if you don't mind.ġ) Since my raid card can support different raid arrays, (i.e I can have one array of RAID 1 and another of RAID 5), should I get another 8 gig laptop drive and make a RAID 1 array for the OS or do you think this is not necessary since the data is safely on the RAID 5 array? Since the machine will only has 4 users at anytime, I don't think I will have any heavy I/O.ĭoes anyone have any thoughts, suggestions or philosophical comments on my plans? I know the SCSI drive will provide better performance however, the drives tend to "whine" at high frequency. I would like to use the laptop drive because it is quite and draws less energy and produces less heat then the SCSI drive. My question is this I have been thinking of installing the OS on either a 9gig Ultra Wide SCSI, (Adaptec AIC-7899W on board controller) or on an 8gig, 5400 rpm, IDE 2.5 laptop drive with an 2.5 to 3.5 adapter, then mounting the 1.5TB RAID 5 as the home directory. I have been water cooling since 2002 and I am "YET" to have any problems with it. On this I will be modifying some old water cooling equipment from "the old days" that I have in a box for cooling and noise control. I am trying to keep this machine a quite as possible, due to the fact that it is in my office and the sound of fans and hard drives is starting to drive me insane. Plus the hardware is cheap and easy to find if anything goes wrong. I am choosing this hardware because the server is only for my home and the PIII 850 draws only 22.5 watts. NIC: 3COM 3C996B-T gigabit NIC, (66 mhz PCI bus) RAID controller: 3Ware 7500-12 controller, (RAID 5) (66 mhz PCI bus) Storage: 4 x's Seagate 500 gig IDE 7200 rpm I am building a CentOS 5 samba server with the following hardware and I have a question.
