→Pooling and File Replication
The implementation technology in Storage Pooling is [http://greyhole.pommepause.com/ Greyhole].
Greyhole is an application a system module that uses Samba to create a storage pool of all your available hard drives (whatever their size, however they're connected), and allows you to create redundant copies of the files you store, in order to prevent data loss when part of your hardware fails.
From this pool, space is allocated for all Shares participating in the pool.
In addition, it also allows you to create redundant copies of the files you store in shares. You can use this to prevent data loss when part of your hardware fails.
In short, Greyhole offers:
* '''Max''': Alternatively, you can chose this option "Always Max" so that the number of copies matches your partitions, even if you reduce or increase the number of partitions participating in the pool. You want this option for valuable files.
