Increasing Volume of seaweeds server.

[ijunai...@gmail.com]

Hi, Everyone!

Am quite new to Seaweed. Our Lead Developer have setup seaweed server on Hetzner and we are using it to store Images.. from a Phoenix API build in Elixir. as we attached our Hetzner server to newrelic and we are getting information about the storage that we are soon to be out of it. I have few questions about seaweeds.

1: we have millions of images on our seaweeds server. And Now we want to increase its volume. What should be the best way to do it? Buying a new server on hetzner and attach it to the master? If yes! Then what is the way to do it?

I have such idea in mind that If I may get a server and just install seaweed there up and running then my phoenixAPI just need the URL to go to it. 

But What about doing something that our current server will remain the same but we have a new storage server attached to it? so that everything goes smooth? 

2: Can we do something that buying a new storage server and attaches it to master seaweed but we want to configure RAID6 on it as well. So can we configure RAID6 on it before attaching it to the current server? 

currently on storage server the out put of `cat /proc/mdstat` is as 

```

Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10] 

unused devices: <none>

```

I just googled to find out what is Phoenix API and Elixir. :) So I got not much idea about APIs.

But to scale up SeaweedFS, you just need to attach more volume servers, which can run on any RAID settings you choose.

Hi Chris! Thanks for quick reply.

Actually sorry for over explanation.. The scene here is.. I cant increase the volume of my storage server. But What I can do is buy a new one (server and attach it to seaweedFS marter) ? If yes then how can I do that? 

So simply how to  attach more volume servers?

Sorry if I misinterpreted but I want to attach new valum server with my running seaweedFS which is running on a 100TB Hetzner server. And now i want to attach a new storage to the existing volum of seaweedFS

You just need to start the volume server. See "weed volume -h", there is an option "weed volume -mserver your_master_server". It is needed to start any volume server.

Thanks for Beaing me.. Chirs..

I went through and wiki and I have seen these commands in getting started..

just last question. I SeaweedFS running on 100TB Hetnzer Server. And am going to buy a new Storage server on Hetzner and I will follow these steps.

1: install go and run seaweadFS on it. and then I will run the command as `weed volume -mserver your_master_server` and it will attach my new storage server with my master server.. and am good.. If my running 100TB will be full.. i have no worries the new started volum will be there?
