Sound very interesting indeed! I don't think the performance will be a problem, the server's a calculation machine that has now been scrapped running a dual-x...@2,something GHz and some 4GB RAM IIRC. Do you think the software-raid5 array used, would be a problem in this case? I've never had any problems with software raid5 in linux before, but you never know... -- /Sorin
