Storage Suggestions

Proper storage planning is necessary to avoid future frustration and costly maintenance. Here are several DO's and DO NOT's:

DO:

  • Plan for at least 3 to 5 times more storage than you think is necessary. Investing extra funds in storage and storage performance is always worth it.
  • Keep all Flow data on a single partition that is expandable, i.e. RAID or LVM.
  • Back up your data, especially the Flow database.

DO NOT:

  • Store data on 'removable' USB drives. Flow will not be able to see these drives.
  • Store data across multiple partitions or folder locations. This will increase the maintenance burden substantially.
  • Use non Linux file systems like NTFS.
