Cons:
Pros:
One thing to remember about is to still have your metadata backup done somehow on another machine, but you could have a raspberry or similar for that purpose only, tucked somewhere in a corner of a shelf ;) |

I've been running a single server setup for years, works the best with the eclectic range of disks I have - 13 disks, a mix of sata drives and usb external disks. Copies=2 for everything. 53TiB total storage. Using 4 virtual chunkservers and a virtual master, with a metadata backup on a seperate server. Chunkservers and master run as lxc containers on a Proxmox server. |

do I need multiple chunksevers or would moosefs be able to balance on HDD level? @Blackpaw |

very unscientific comparison storage on ceph on almost default settings (with exception of the switch that allows balancing on single IP, 3copies is default) moose performed about 10x faster while backing up 1TB VM I am impressed |

I have been using distributed moose at home for a while and I love it to bits. But I like less my electricity bill from all those servers.
I am thinking about building moose inside of bigger PC case that can hold multiple HDD and use it instead. (New Linux PC is planned anyway)
What will be the draw backs for such home setup?
Upsides?
Will in-box transfers from Moosefs to my PC increase while not really using the network? I am still mounting it.
