Hi all,
While all the offers of alternative methods are genuinely appreciated, I'm sure, they are not what the OP is looking for. He's not looking to create an NFS server or file server of any kind, and networking does not play a part in what he's trying to do. If it did, I doubt he would have asked the question, since I know Tom's a more than capable sysadmin (he taught me most of what I know). What Tom *really* wants to do is use a set of IDE disks in a sw RAID configuration which is connected to his Sun system via SCSI. That's it. It's bizarre, it's wacked, it's probably not something anyone would ever do for a production environment. But, it's not for a production environment :) It's one of those things where someone has a bunch of pieces and parts and odds and ends and wants to see if he can't use Linux to glue them all together. Much like how people started using Linux as home routers. This is purely an experiment to see if it *can* be done. We may well discover it can't, or, we may discover that with a few mods to the SCSI code, we can all have cheap IDE RAID boxes connected via SCSI to our systems. I hope that clears things up some what. And, as I said, I'm sure the OP appreciates the intentions behind all the various alternative solutions to the problem. -- Seeya, Paul ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
