Lol, this guy is a ****ing halfwit.

I can't help it that you're too ignorant to set up a simple
file and FTP server. Or rather, I'm sure you can throw a
lot of money around and pay someone who DOES know how to do
it then pretend that based upon their abilities, YOU know
what you're doing?
 
Does anyone understand this?


You act as if hardware failure is an arguement in your
favor. It's not since potential for hardware failure is
present with any alternative, but the logical failure
potential increases with increased complexity of the OS.
Basically, you might have an argument but so far haven't
made it.

So you're clueless?
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand it. You
aren't arguing FOR anything that eliminates risk, but then
try to cite risk as being in your favor.

I'm up to speed, but you are just trolling, right?

Hard drives fail in workstations. It's a risk.
Hard drives fail in servers. It's a risk.

People generally throw money at file servers, e.g. RAID to minimise the
impact of such a failure, with RAID you'll either get fault tolerance
(hot swap, very expensive) or high availability (require a shutdown
period to replace faulty disk with no loss of data).

If you don't "complicate" a file server in this way then you stand to
lose all data since last backup when a hard drive fails.

yes I'm familiar with raid, and haven't argued against it.
If that's what "Lordy" thought I was arguing against then
perhaps Lordy should've been a bit more expressive and the
sub-topic could've been addressed.
 
I just can't believe that I've made it this far into the thread!! Sheesh!
lol It's almost like a train wreck!
