I've got a home server with a RAID 5 array. It's mainly used for streaming movies and runs idle the most of the time. I was thinking if it's possible to make a FUSE filesystem, that transparently copies the file from the RAID to a flash drive and streams the data from there, allowing the drives to power down the next hour and a half.
Is this a realistic idea? In Perl? What should i look out for? I haven't really programmed anything like this before. Just small scripts for this and that, but i guess i have to start somewhere.
