[cod] Laag with 1.7 Linux Servers?

[EscapedTurkey]

If this is just a personal server and not for any business, and unless 
the data is critical, you may just want to do RAID 0 (yes, I know it's 
not RAID). Than do daily rsync backups to your home. After the first 
rsync, it won't take long to do subsequent ones.

Also, you may want to do daily archiving and wipes of log the game 
server log files. I notice that can get fairly IO intensive if they get 
too large.

Another thing to consider, if you run multiple servers with multiple 
accounts, is to symlink the large files from one location. That should 
improve seek times, in theory.
