This was discussed on IRC, I believe in a couple of the last meetings. A RAID controller from Sun is $999. They offer a variety of SCSI cards too but I believe they do not support RAID in hardware. I think because this server is just going to be mirroring the performance hit is not so bad, and also the fact that this server should not be as disk-intensive, since it will be AFS-mounting all the user data.
Please feel free to discuss this further here (or on IRC for that matter). I am planning on travelling to the Philly Linux User Group on Thursday for the Software RAID talk, and will discuss this with some eggheads there. -ntk _______________________________________________ HCoop-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-discuss
