Ceph is a unified, distributed storage system that simultaneously provides object, block, and file storage on commodity hardware. It eliminates single points of failure through replication and erasure coding, and scales linearly by adding nodes. The cephadm tool, introduced in Ceph Octopus, simplifies cluster deployment by using containers (Podman on RHEL 8) to manage Ceph […]
MinIO is a high-performance, S3-compatible object storage server designed to run on commodity hardware. It supports the full Amazon S3 API, making it a drop-in replacement for cloud object storage in private and hybrid environments. On RHEL 8, MinIO runs as a single binary with minimal dependencies, and its systemd integration makes it straightforward to […]
GlusterFS is an open-source, scale-out network-attached storage filesystem that aggregates storage from multiple servers into a single, unified namespace. It supports replication, distribution, and striping, making it suitable for workloads that require high availability or large aggregate capacity without specialized hardware. On RHEL 8, GlusterFS packages are available through the CentOS Storage SIG repository, allowing […]
iSCSI (Internet Small Computer Systems Interface) allows you to share block storage devices over a standard TCP/IP network, making it a cost-effective alternative to dedicated Fibre Channel SANs. On RHEL 8, the targetcli package provides a powerful interactive shell for configuring iSCSI targets, while iscsi-initiator-utils handles the client side. This tutorial walks through setting up […]
Software RAID using mdadm provides redundant disk storage without requiring a hardware RAID controller, making it ideal for cost-effective high-availability storage on RHEL 8. RAID 1 (mirroring) writes identical data to two disks simultaneously; if one disk fails, the other continues serving data without interruption and the array can be rebuilt onto a replacement drive. […]
Network File System (NFS) is a distributed filesystem protocol that allows RHEL 8 servers to export directories over the network so that client machines can mount and use them as if they were local storage. NFS is a cornerstone of Linux infrastructure, used in everything from home lab setups to large-scale HPC clusters and virtualization […]
Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is a flexible disk management system that allows you to create, resize, and manage storage volumes on RHEL 8 without the limitations of traditional partitioning. By abstracting physical disks into logical volumes, LVM lets you grow or shrink filesystems on the fly, take point-in-time snapshots, and pool multiple disks into a […]
Introduction This guide explains how to Configure XFS File System on Debian 11 on Debian 11 Bullseye. Debian Bullseye uses systemd for service management, nftables as the underlying packet filter (with ufw or iptables front-ends still available), and AppArmor for mandatory access control. Every command is designed for a minimal Debian 11 install with the […]
Introduction Debian 11 Bullseye is built around the ethos of stability and free software. Setting up configure btrfs file system on debian 11 on Bullseye leverages the same proven Debian packaging system that powers millions of servers worldwide, while benefiting from the latest upstream releases included in the Bullseye freeze. Follow each step carefully and […]
AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) is a host-based intrusion detection tool that builds a cryptographic baseline of your filesystem and alerts you whenever files are added, removed, or modified. On RHEL 8 it is available in the base repositories and integrates cleanly with cron and email for automated daily checks. Unlike network-based intrusion detection, AIDE […]
