Well, it's very common in the world of big iron databases. I know that man companies routinely store A LOT of their Oracle data on Netapp or EMC gear. Some are doing it with MySQL now too. As for reliability, these disk systems tend to be far more reliable than the hosts connecting to them (at least on the low end). There's a lot of redundancy because they're designed for just this sort of application. > As for the transaction logs, I haven't reallly thought of it, but to > my understanding management wants it all on the appliance. That's how I'd do it. Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
