Linux File System Question

[Mike Brady]

I am curious why you would want to use NSS for the filesystem for iFolder.  Doesn't it just add a layer of unneeded complexity? It's very possible I am missing something here too, so feel free to educate me.  Thanks.

I did setup an iFolder 3.6 test implementation and used NSS for the iFolder
datastore and there is also a section in the iFolder 3.7 documentation
specifically addressing prerequisites to using NSS for the datastore, the
jist is make sure you have NSS setup before installing iFolder and there is
some info regarding EVMS use for managing NSS volumes, special
considerations for system devices on EVMS (a definite Joe D. no no ;-)).

IIRC the config was pretty straight forward and worked well.  if you are
going the POSIX file system route then Mike's the man.

In iFolder 3.7, you specify a place to install it to during installation.
This location hosts various database files mapping the users to their
files.  It also creates a directory where default iFolder data will be
stored.  After installation is complete, you can configure other datastores
to add space to your implementation.  The iFolder service will use whatever
datastore has the most space first which in most cases is probably a large
datastore you put aside for ifolder in the first place.  However, it
doesn't
consider the fact that you might fill that datastore and revert back to
using the default datastore (which in my case is on the same partition as
my
OS).

I'm going to try Mike's idea since he seems to have been in the same boat
as
myself before.
