Why? What's the point of all this? >The saving to server is proving very, very slow compared to saving >the same files to an external hard drive off of the power mac. Yea. Direct i/o thru high bandwidth buses to a drive vs AFP thru TCP/IP thru ethernet or wifi. The path thru the network will ALWAYS be MUCH slower than than direct i/o. >What I'd like to do is try mirroring the external HD to the server and >update the mirror every time a file is added to the external.

Either: a) Do *real* RAID to a locally connected HD subsystem, such as a Drobo etc. or b) Use the fsevent type services provided in Leopard, aka Time Machine to a Time Capsule. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
