It was thus said that the Great Curt Vendel once stated:
Finally, a smart UPS system so your NAS server can orderly shutdown in the
event of a power failure and your reduce data corruption.
This is a good setup for low failure and fastest recovery.
If you do use Linux, for the filesystem you might want to use XFS. It's a
journaling filesystem (so even *if* the system goes down unclean, you don't
get a corrupted file system and fsck takes mere seconds). It also handles
small files efficiently. I'm using it on a production server right now and
haven't had any problems.
