Physical Linux server as proxy and non-hardened repository?

[dmitri-va]

This is supported, right?

If so, XFS (faster?) or ZFS (compression on top of vbr compression/dedup?)?

Ubuntu vs RHEL, any pros/cons?

Proxy/Repo server will be connected to a SAN via iSCSI and vmware vCenter for a SAN mode.

Thanks.

Hello,
yes, Linux proxy on a Linux repository (except Hardened Repository) is supported.

XFS: because of block cloning

Ubuntu: because it does not force you to upgrade every few months (except you have the right support option from Red Hat)

Best regards,
Hannes
