[fuse-devel] Remote NASsing Filesystem

[adfas a. <chi...@ya...>]

I have an HTPC, which records terabytes to my RAID10 array.  The data is too large to back up any more, so I've decided that I want to move one side of that mirror into the garage, in case of theft or fire.  I plan to build a little headless box which will have a small mobo, four hot-swap disk drives, and GbEthernet, as my remote storage in the garage.

I'll need to communicate with it quickly and effectively, and so far it looks like iSCSI is the ticket, but FUSE is so amazing that I thought I'd check and see whether there are any solutions here.  My main focus is to make this a RAID10 array (mirrored & striped), with one side of the mirror in the HTPC and the other in the garage attached by GbEthernet.

The only FUSE modules that look close are Gluster, Starfish, and Moose.  Any suggestions?

Also I am looking for a *high*quality* enclosure and cage, similar to this preassembled (and expensive) one:

Any suggestions?
