Hi All,

At the moment I am taking a good long look at what FlexRAID has to offer.

Things I like:
-- *can run* within Linux
-- bit-rot detection
-- *pooling* of HDD's
-- underlying filesystem on the data drives stays untouched

Things I am unsure of:
-- seems to be very little info on successful Linux installations; scattered bits of info here and there but no cohesive start to finish guide or even user experience that can be easily found.
-- foggy on the details as to how the *pooling* of HDD's is accomplished. I have heard of 'mhddfs' but I don't why would they use this over something more tried and tested like LVM? Very little info on mhddfs use out in the wild.

So in general I am curious to hear about anyone's LINUX EXPERIENCE USING FLEXRAID; good or bad.

I have 0 interest in any Windows-based FlexRAID platform since I am not regressing...

Thanks

go to flexraid forums. There is a guide linked for linux on ubuntu. Flexraid 2.0 is around the corner for windows, and I will be using that because its super easy.
