Greyhole – Easily expandable and redundant storage pool for home servers
January 11, 2012 by christian · Leave a Comment
Greyhole is an application that uses Samba to create a storage pool of all your available hard drives (whatever their size, however they’re connected), and allows you to create redundant copies of the files you store, in order to prevent data loss when part of your hardware fails.

Configure as many hard drives as you’d like to be included in your pool. Your storage pool size will be the sum of the free space in all the hard drives you include. Your hard drives can be internal, external (USB, e-Sata, Firewire…), or even mount of remote file systems, and you can include hard drives of any size in your pool.
