Start over. I don't know what your data requirements are but if you created a 900GB machine, you would have plenty of space for a development mirror, as well as space for snapshots.<br>

Subject: Re: New server migration<br>
<br>
Just to add - I installed CentOS 7 on RAID 10 hardware RAID on the new Dell<br>
PowerEdge<br>
I have the OS installed at this point and this is as far as I've gotten<br>
The server has four (4) 2TB NLSAS hot plug hard drives<br>
I installed all filesystems as ext4 -- I allowed Centos to partition<br>
automatically this leaves with a 3.9TB /u file system that is ext4<br>
Would you recommend a different filesystem?<br>
