Using NAS storage mounted over NFS/CIFS for CPanel
| Posted by jesin, 10-05-2014, 12:21 PM |
| Is it a good practice to mount /home2 or /home3 on a NAS storage using NFS or CIFS for storing CPanel accounts? I'm not asking about backup but hosting it directly from a NAS.
When I googled about this users were discussing about quota issues but those threads were more than 4 years old.

| Hi,
This type of setup is usually used for failover or load balancing cluster. However, its not limited to this only. You can use it /home2 or home3 as per your requirement too. Make sure there is good network speed between your server and NAS.

| yep, quota problem and you can overcome that if you choose to use iscsi/fc san instead.

| What kind of performance can I expect over a 1Gbps Ethernet link?

| Abysmal.
Your local HDD is probably 3 or 6Gb/s and without the NIC/Ethernet overheads !

| Hi,
To get more performance out of it, try using private networking if shared storage and server are in same DC.
