Filesystem?

Hi All.

I want to build a simple file storage array. Thinking of slapping several 1 TiB drives together. The OS will be linux, what is a good file system to use? I want the file system to see the drives as one big as drive. And obviously NFS, so that other people can mount it.

Finally, is it possible to intermix some SSDs into this pool, e.g., the file system is smart enough to place recently and commonly used files onto the SSD and long term storage onto the 1 TiB spindles?

I don't know if any OS's right now natively handle SSD caching, but that would be nice to know. FreeNAS is a pretty popular and free OS that has some pretty neat features and ZFS file system will allow you to create a single Drive (Pool) so you don't have to worry about where things are. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1393939 has a massive thread of 10TB+ File servers that you can probably find a lot more useful info on.
