But beyond those items is the best type of file system. I use zfs on our Solaris and Linux servers. We have had excellent performance using Nexenta and iSCSI to our fiber SANS.

Subject: Re: [SLUG] Taking Petabytes
It depends on how the data is to be used. Are you going to see a lot of
read/writes to the storage, or more of one than the other, i.e. more
reads, few writes or more writes, few reads. What sort of connection are
you going to use, 1Gb, Fibre, 10Ge? What sort of protocol, TCP/IP,
iSCSI, NSF, CIFS, one of the SAN protocols? It's all of those things
together that determine the type of solution you'll need, beyond having
2.5 petabytes which is a good hunk of storage.
