I'm doing a PHP script on FreeBSD which servers multi-TBytes worth of
content mostly files ranging in size from 100KB to 600MB. Similar to a
file-sharing sites where users upload their pictures/videos/binary
files.
I'd prefer a simple storage system but not fimilar with large storage
as this. I'd prefer to serve the files in URLs in this format:
http://archive.site.co m/$FILENAME
I'd have 4x FreeBSD servers (local LAN linked) each with 6x 500GB SATA
hard-drives (RAID5 array) totaling 12 TBytes storage between the
servers.
What would be your recommendation( s)?

What is your question? I have used RAID5/6 in TB range under Linux,
so I guess doung the same under FreeBSD should not be an issue.
Export via NFS and you are done.

Can you provide any good links for tutorials on NFS? I have read
Wikipedia's page for but don't understand how I can use NFS to create
a virtual drive of 12TBytes spread over 4 servers and 24 hard drives.

Oh, you want one unified filesystem? Doing that with more than
one computer may not be a good idea. If you do, some type of
cluster filesystem should be used. Otherwise you could get
serious trouble if one computer goes down.
Come to think of it, why not put the 24 disks all in one computer?
This may need a cube-type server case and three 8x SATA controllers,
but both are available.

"That depends" on how you're using your storage. NFS is just the
transport mechanism. Layout, redundancy, and BACKUPS are a bigger
concern. You need someone who understands storage, optimization, and
backups ASAP. Hire a consultant or go do a LOT of reading.
I have to say I agree to that.

Are there any plans to incorporate a native C# facility to deal with the OLE
Structured Storage concept? It's clumsy at best to have to construct a C++
interface to the .doc files (or any such files by any suffix), when
Microsoft uses the concept in most, if not all, of their other products.
"Just how hard could it be?" he asks, knowing that 'hard' is a relative

I have this nasty problem with Shared methods and what I think of as "global

In the simple example below this "global" storage is ButtonHasBeenClicked.
In this simple example code in Form1 calls a routine in Module1 which then
calls code back in Form1 (subroutine WhatEver). WhatEver needs to access
ButtonHasBeenClicked but the reference to ButtonHasBeenClicked...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
