First off, I'd like to apologize for being such an ignoramus the last couple days......chasing the wrong problem and being all panicky. really shows how much of a linux noob i am....sorry, and thanks for your patience.
So, My /var/snd is full. I was going to bring up a backup server, but quickly realized that had too many issues to be done in a timely manner, I'd have to completely reconfigure a new server, I'd need to pull the audio card from the current server, and I'd have to pray it went smoothly. My new plan is thus: We have a spare Lacie NAS RAID array that I want to copy /var/snd to and then mount it to the server as /var/snd. Question, if I do this, it then becomes the servers /var/snd, so on the workstations which already look at the server to mount /var/snd will they pick it up automatically? or do I have to change any configs on the server or workstations. or does it just make more sense to point the workstations at the NAS? not sure if this will be a permanent solution or not, but the servers I am using only take SCSI drives. I have the drives to double it's storage, but they already filled it up once in less than 6 months, though after the loading of christmas songs we probably won't have another huge dump of songs, but our music director says he adds about 5-10 songs a week on average. current /var/snd is77Gb, i could get it to about 180Gb witht he SCSI drives I have now, but the NAS is at least a Tb, though we were not intending to use it for this purpose. I am hesitant to try a USB drive for something so critical, probably would give poor perfomance anyway I think the ports on this machine are only USB1.
