I believe the swap was changed from Raid 0 to Raid 1 when I realized virtual memory could become corrupted if I had lost a drive. I wasn't sure how the software Linux RAID would behave at boot. Setting the boot partition to Raid 1 ensures that no matter what happens, I can always boot the system and load the RAID daemon from any of the drives. How big is each RAID partition? It sounds as if one of them is the swap. Linux HAS to create the swap as a separate partition.

Can you explain the raid 0, raid 1 and raid 5 configuration and how you calculated the amount of drivespace used for each?

Yes, it would, but the rackmount form factor isn't designed specifically for server processes. Its purpose is to maximize rack space usage in places where you're charged for the amount of space you occupy inside a component rack, such as for example at a secure datacenter. A single rack unit in one of those places (i.e. 1U) can easily cost you around $50 per month! I even have rackmount servers that aren't used as servers at all. They're desktop style PCs squeezed into 1U of space.

I tried that. It resulted in an entire month of time being completely wasted, a one month delay in launching my television channel's test streams, and the end of a long term business relationship. The experience left me so bitter that I decided to avoid the other major suppliers altogether. I had run out of time and couldn't afford any further delays.

Pretty much. It even came with driver discs for Windows although you may have issues if you want to use Windows Server 2008 drivers under Windows 7 and vice versa. But since these computers use very generic components, you might not even need to install extra drivers unless you need hardware RAID support. Linux isn't an issue. The drivers are fine, and the software RAID support works almost flawlessly. It will stop at the BusyBox prompt during reboot if there's a failed drive in the array.

All I wish is that Asus would hurry up and carry over the cable-free design to their lower-end models. I just purchased a short length RS100-E6/PI2 that has many of the cables routed in front of the system fans! The cables don't impede the airflow all that much, but it definitely isn't what I'd call a very smart design strategy.

I love ASUS! Didn't even know they made servers until today... LOL (I like how excited I am and I have no reason to have a server... hehe)

Already reduced it. It can take a couple of tries to get it just right, especially on an unlapped heatsink.

You could potentially destruct a CPU socket like that, always 'drop' it in with the notches aligned not to get any broken pins..

And yet, aside from the loss of two 1TB Hitachi hard drives (lost the second one this week), the only component to have failed in the last three years in either server was one hot swappable chassis fan... ...Out of seven... ...In one server only. It doesn't even count as a proper failure since the problem is simply a pinched wire that can easily be fixed. All the broken wire did was run the fan at full speed. I didn't even notice it until I moved the servers to a more quiet location.

@music1simar Servers are better adapted for areas where everything must be kept up and running for as long as possible i.e. mission critical applications. On these machines, I can swap out power supplies, system fans and hard drives without shutting down or rebooting the machine. In fact, one of the hard drives had failed a couple of weeks ago. So I pulled it out, insterted a new one and told Linux to rebuild the RAID array. Everything else kept working as if nothing had happened.

Both servers, and the temporary router used for the Internet, were all connected into an unmanaged gigabit switch (the small box on top of the servers).

If the Asus RS700 about a quarter of the HP servers' price with the same specifications, then we may use it for the cheap server. Other than that, it is no way to compare with the Dell or HP server. Asus RS700 is makde with the cheap materials as we seen.

You don't need an actual server unless the game software requires it. At most, you might need to give the machine a fixed IP address so the router can find it. All routers should have some kind of port forwarding capability built into them. It's just a matter of knowing which port to forward. The game software should have this info for you. Now do your homework! :)

$2,500 each as equipped in the video. An extra $500 will get me a second quad core processor and 6 GB more memory. Just try to find an equivalent turnkey system for the same price. And because barebones manufacturers use industry standard components in their designs, it increases your chances the OS will work properly with very few adjustments if any. Finally, all the essential components were ordered and delivered within a week. Ordering from a major systems integrator can take a few months.

From your video looks like you did three different types of Raid partitions on each individual drive?1 GB for boot (Raid 1), 20 GB for swap (Raid 0) and 975 GB (Raid 5) for everything else? How did you decide on those amounts and why three different types of Raid on each drive? The video doesn't show the Ubuntu partition steps. I was able to do a Raid 5 on four drives by using the auto partition feature in Ubuntu which created two partitions on each drive both partitioned as Raid 5. Is this Ok?

I love Asus aswell, i got Asus motherboards in all of my builds.

Hello all, I had an Asus server motherboard, the unit is still under warranty until April, 2021. I sent it to Asus for repair. They could not repair and blamed to the product was damaged. This is a true story. Do not buy Asus products. If it works then you don't have to worry. If it fails, you have hard time to send back for repair. This is not the first time. Last year I bought the Asus B250i motherboard. It failed a few months later. I had to send it back the second time for a replacement.

What about for running servers I don't have a graphics card in my desktop that i run servers on. So a rackmount server would be great for running servers right?

could you explain how you connected them together i never got the devices that they used
