Subject: [9fans]  file server?
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 17:30:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <621112A569DAE948AD25CCDCF1C075331AB5F4@dolly.ntdom.cupdx> (raw)

Since the how-to's are being discussed recently, I thought it would be a good time to ask:

Once, it used to be the "standard" configuration to have one machine as a CPU/auth server, one machine as a file server, and one machine as a "terminal", for a total of three systems, if one had the available hardware.

What's the "recommended" setup now?  Are most people using a combined cpu/auth/file server running Fossil+Venti, or is the recommendation to use a seperate fossil+venti server dedicated to file serving, and another to serve as CPU/auth?

I currently have a cpu/auth server in a vm that I drawterm to and store most of my Plan 9 stuff on, but since I have an opportunity to move some things around, am wondering if this is the best setup.

Thanks to all in advance!

-Ben
