http://serverfault.com – I have a streaming project with ~ 500 video streaming connections at the same time. I built a server follow as: CPU E3-1230 RAM 16GB HDD: SATA II 4x2TB with Raid 10 && SSD 2x120GB Intel 520 with Raid 0 Currently, I installed Lighttpd with mod_h264 and mod_flv to streaming and mod_secdownload to anti hotlink. But I have problem about IO performance, I want to put HOT movie file to disk cache (two SSD Disks with Raid 0) and lighttpd will be read hot movie file from SSD improve streaming speed. I don't know do that, please give me a solution ? Thanks so much :) (HowTos)

Maybe you should try a Gig-E Switch... ?With that much media I would perhaps look at a RAID setup for it. SATA RAID should suffice. If the disks are external, move them over to a e-SATA... [by falcon1620]

When sharing a mov file from Ubuntu One (See sample URL http://ubuntuone.com/2tmgfbyPMAURzYDraoMo7e ), then opening the file from your web browser such as Firefox, rather than giving you the save as file option it will start streaming the movie file instead.

Hello all!

Im in the process of installing lighttpd on my server as i need it for streaming possibilities.

I have sucessfully installed lighttpd but having a hard time making it work properly. It loads html files, but no php files.

I just ordered a new server which will be used to serve mp4 video files ranging from 10MB up to 90MB using nginx (with pseudo-streaming).

This server has dual opteron 6128, 64GB of RAM.

What I would like to ask is how do I setup my hard disk to serve these video files the fastest way.

I ordered 8 x 1.5TB HDD in Hardware RAID 10.

So I ran into an interesting situation. I setup a raid 5 with 6+1 drives. ~9.5tb total. each drive is 2TB. File system is on a seperate 500gb drive over sata 1 as well as the hot-swap.

I have a Proliant ML350 G8 with two SAS raid arrays currently set up - thereby maxing the default P420i raid controller. I need to set up a large video dump space in addition to this existing set-up (for non backed up, non-critical, temporary storage).

I had planned to just add a 2TB SATA disk and plug it into the motherboard.

Hi,not sure if this is a networking or laptop issue, so Im posting it here anyway. Feel free to move the thread.I recently have set up my laptop as a Minidlna server to stream videos etc.

I have a 5-disk Intel RAID 5 along with a 6th boot disk with /, /boot, and swap.

What I was planning to do was mount the Intel RAID partitions (which I've added with fdisk) so that the 6th disk /home, /var, /srv, etc. link to the RAID on the other 5 disks.

I want to set up software RAID-1 on my Ubuntu system, and found this example of an /etc/raidtab:

raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 0 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/sdb1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/sdc1 raid-disk 1

I would however like the path to the raid device to be /raid.
