<div class="PlainText">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>
