thanks for the info. researching further, i stumbled across an article by BBC, which led me to drobo, which led me to a cnet review, and at the bottom of the cnet review links to more home-storage-and-sharing solutions that scales up to gigs and terabytes. so without further ado, please check out drobo http://drobo.com/ the downside: a)supports only NTFS and HFS+ b) the empty shell costs USD500, and you bring your own hardisk (YBYOHD) the upside: quite a few. has anyone hacked this to work with gnulinux filesystems and FAT32? the cnet review of drobo, that mentions more devices at the end of the article in the 'similar products' section: http://reviews.cnet.com/hard-drives/drobo/4505-3186_7-32470303.html an article in NYTimes, on solutions for the growing number of gora mohantys and ankur rohtagis of the world :-) http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/02/technology/circuits/02basics.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1 :-) LL _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
